An awkward scene between the artist and a local gallery director highlights Silva's fluency in the rituals of social superiority.

Ultimately, Silva's uneven command of tone undoes whatever goodwill his actors have managed to generate. They - and we - deserve much better than this.

(The end) slams the brakes on any goodwill you had for the characters.

Nasty Baby takes aim at a fat target: gay modern-family dramedies, those well-meaning, self-congratulatory films that haven't actually felt modern in a decade.

Amy Nicholson, L.A. Weekly

"Nasty Baby" rights itself intriguingly when Silva pushes his characters into unknown territory and lifestyle is imposed upon by life.
