Shiva Baby discussion
Details
Howdy folks!
On Wednesday we'll be meeting to discuss Shiva Baby, which is available to view on Channel 4 On Demand, Amazon, Mubi and Apple TV. Just to clarify, this Zoom call is for discussing the film, movies more generally, and socialising- we won't be watching it together.
Having recently watched Rachel Sennott in I Love LA, this movie jumped out at me while browsing through Mubi for something for our group. Here's a brief synopsis:
'While at a Jewish funeral service with her parents, a college student has an awkward encounter with her sugar daddy and her ex-girlfriend.'
And some reviews:
'The independent film is deeply funny, but plays like a thriller – you never know when Danielle might snap. Sennott is terrific, with reactions that are revelatory.'
'Usually I am not a fan of cringe comedy, but this film somehow transcends that sub-genre into something much more surreal, tapping into the absurdity of life with deft insight and empathy.'
'It’s incredibly relatable, and it’s comforting to see that maybe I’m not the only person who dreads going to family functions.'
I look forward to seeing you there and hearing about what you've been watching lately!
