With virtually no plot and very little character development, Tyrel works best as an examination of masculinity and race.
In our first Melbourne International Film Festival report, we cover a collection of films, including Columbian crime dramas, a time-bending German war film, and an experimental exercise in young adult race relations.
Nasty Baby focuses on gay couple Freddy (Sebastián Silva) and Mo (Tunde Adebimpe), who are trying to get a baby with the help of their close friend Polly (Kristen Wiig). While trying to create a life, they’re also confronted with an extreme scenerio that causes them to take a life. After Nasty Baby was screened at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival, it received the Teddy Award for best LGBT-themed film.
