Shiva Baby Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Seligman has a deft touch with this zippy material, making "Shiva Baby" a joy to watch as Rachel stumbles from one awkward conversation to the next.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
In that grasp of twentysomething aimlessness, Sennott and Seligman make Shiva Baby more fulfilling than grazing on a condolences basket.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
What keeps you watching is the way "Shiva Baby" puts us on Danielle's side throughout, even as she's sabotaging herself with further lies and lox.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
There are hints of early Allen of course, but the film to me has more in common with the (also Jewish) Safdi brothers' particular blend of tense and chaotic narratives.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
Shiva Baby is an extremely exaggerated version of a certain reality, which is precisely why it's so damn funny.
Autostraddle
Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
The choices Danielle makes and the things she says are cringeworthy in the best way.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Seligman's script is masterful in building in moments of grim familiarity during scenes where Sennott's twitchy, abrasive energy is perfectly tuned.
New York Times
Jason Bailey
Sennott is a revelation, and that matters; she carries much of the picture's weight on her face, and its ability to express the mounting levels of stress and deadpan reactions.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Angie Han
It's like a feature length anxiety attack... It's not a comforting watch, but if you're in the mood to really be "in a mood," this is a good pick.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Amy Nicholson
It really has this charm and energy... It's just high anxiety, where you're yelling at the screen.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Helen Shaw
A perfectly engineered and performed piece of comic cringe.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
As a team, Seligman and Sennott share a spot-on sense of comedic timing, knowing just when to throw in the next cutting remark, eye roll, or fake smile.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
Enter Shiva at your own risk... a hell of Danielle's own making maybe, but still a witty, jittery trip.
Hollywood Reporter
Jon Frosch
A deftly crafted comedy of discomfort.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Shiva Baby is an assured and impressively choreographed debut that gets funnier with every new complication.
Chicago Reader
Cody Corrall
Don't be fooled by this film's quirky title and robust comedic cast-Emma Seligman's debut feature Shiva Baby is in the running for the most anxiety-inducing, claustrophobic film experience of the year.
Slant Magazine
David Robb
Emma Seligman's film effectively builds tension from what is a relatively familiar, low-key scenario.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
As simple in its set-up as it is complex in its interpersonal dynamics and the execution of its masterclass-level comedy, with her debut feature it is clear that for Seligman this is just the beginning of a promising filmmaking career.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
As is, it largely plays like one of those semi-hip farces from the late 1960s or early '70s - only with minivans and sexting.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
We love them for sure, but family can be scary stuff. By her film's satisfying close, Seligman proves she gets the profound universality of that notion.
