Nasty Baby is all about likability, delicate stained-glass drama ready to be shattered by Silva’s cruel curiosity.
Same goes for Adebimpe, who taps the same impressive sensitivity on display in Rachel Getting Married. Curtis takes Oliver’s money as his falsehoods come to light A career end, a massive departure, and a Curtis fraud are all revealed in these six Coronation Street spoiler videos Coronation Street spoilers: Summer spotted Summer’s boyfriend, Daniel. Silva’s off-the-cuff style suits Wiig, who delivers her best performance since Bridesmaids. EastEnders spoilers: Female Genital Mutilation horror: Kioni’s nasty mother is arrested. To tease: Nasty Baby’s last 30 minutes should give Breaking Bad fans flashbacks (and not just because Mark Margolis plays the couple’s downstairs neighbor). Finally, in the squidgy ending scenes of the film, the wrathful Engineer conveniently meets its death at the tentacles of Shaws alien child, now somehow. Silva creates a world where no amount of planning can prepare his trio for life’s curveballs. What follows is major spoiler territory, anything but predictable and, for many people, anything but logical. The project baffles the curator, but he leaves it to “the oracle” to decide Freddy’s fate. Later, Freddy visits a gallery owner to show off his latest art installation, a video compilation of him and his friends crying like babies. Has she been sabotaging the efforts the entire time? Not quite. There are red herrings planted to spook us: during a last ditch effort to use Freddy’s sperm, we see Polly pour out the semen sample into a nearby planter.
Nasty Baby will likely go down as 2015’s greatest “shit happens” movie. They’ve got everything under control but their own psyches. Polly’s determination, Mo’s contemplative zen state, and Freddy’s playful banter defy movie conventions. Through vibrant music cues and a marijuana-scented cloud mellowing the scenery, Silva averts the movie’s occasional dangers to concentrate on more grounded problems. But life moves on, the baby issue trumping everything. Freddy doesn't care for his slur-filled beat poetry. Anyone from New York recognizes the character of Bishop, an overly aggressive, not-quite-there staple who can go from eccentric to offensive in the blink of an eye. Freddy is a control freak, frustrated that the block’s resident kook spends his Saturday mornings cleaning the sidewalks with his thunderous leaf blower. Nuzzled between all the sweetness is an arsenal of Chekhov's guns.
