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.

Ed Potton Times (UK) 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. Rated: 3/5 May 25, 2024 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa The directorial trio crafts a tightly spun, tension-filled documentary that is just as much fun as a match against Nǎstase. May 25, 2024 Full Review Joe Utichi Deadline Hollywood Daily Nasty is an infinitely watchable pop doc, but it might have dug a little deeper here and there. May 24, 2024 Full Review Nikki Baughan Screen International This engaging, jam-packed documentary profiles the rise of the player they called Nasty, using the pivotal year of 1972 as a jumping off-point.
