1972. Ilie Nastase wins his first US Open, while reaching both the Wimbledon and Davis Cup finals, and enters tennis history. NASTY explores his highs and lows, the controversies that surrounded the 1973 world number one ranked player, and the enduring impact he has had on the world of tennis. Lovable, charming and generous, yet temperamental, arrogant and obscene -- Nastase disrupted the sport's antiquated etiquette with a great sense of showmanship on the court, and became its first rebel rock star.

3/5
The main problem with the film, directed by Tudor Giurgiu, Cristian Pascariu and Tudor D Popescu, is that there's too much tennis and not enough on Nastase's personal and political life... Still, there's plenty to enjoy. Go to Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa 05/25/2024
The directorial trio crafts a tightly spun, tension-filled documentary that is just as much fun as a match against Nǎstase. Go to Full Review Joe Utichi Deadline Hollywood Daily 05/24/2024
Nasty is an infinitely watchable pop doc, but it might have dug a little deeper here and there. Go to Full Review Nikki Baughan Screen International 05/23/2024
