Films are like visiting a city. Mainstream movies cover the big
attraction: Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedra, and Musée du Louvre.
Indie films take you through the back streets and occasionally you get
a tour of the underbelly of a city. "Nasty Baby" by filmmaker Sebastián
Silva takes you on a back ally tour of the character of ordinary
people. We all like to think we know what we will do in hypothetical
situations. The truth is often we don't. This movie starts off pleasant
enough with likable, real character; but from the start there is a slow
burn that is building towards some unwanted destination. This movie
takes you around the big attractions of a city and delivers you via the
characters in places you would never expect to visit or would want to
go. Check out "Nasty Baby" if you get a chance.
