Nasty Baby

Nasty Baby (2015) is available to watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Sebastián Silva, who also stars alongside Kristen Wiig and Tunde Adebimpe. A Brooklyn gay couple want to start a family and bring in their close friend Polly as a surrogate. Sorting out the logistics is awkward, warm, and funny — the kind of material Silva handles well.

Then there's the neighbor. His hostility is low-level at first, easy to shrug off. It doesn't stay low-level. What opens as a sharp urban comedy quietly shifts into something that carries real weight by the end.

A US-Chile-France co-production that screened at Sundance and Locarno before its release. Stream Nasty Baby online on iFILM.
