Where to Watch Shiva Baby
- brycowardJuly 20, 2025I find myself wanting more from the story. The movie is edited to follow the main character in real time, and that limits the story and character development somewhat. But that limit, paradoxically, seems to have pushed the film makers to focus hard to find the key moments of development for the character, and that laser focus, paired with cleverness in shot selection, really makes for an engaging story. What the movie lacks in context and follow up makes up for in this focused approach, and I think that's where it shines.
- rajmoonlightApril 24, 2025Dry dark dramedy that continuously grows the sense of awkward discomfort in the viewer, much as the protagonist feels it. And just as you reach your limit of feeling lost and uncomfortable, you are ushered into a state of acceptance that life is far from perfect. To cleanse the palate, this film leaves a taste of hope in your mouth.
- gmrxboxOctober 21, 2024Watched Shiva Baby on Plex / AppleTV yesterday, a fantastic movie. I think the plot synopsis, paints a pretty clear picture. "While at a Jewish funeral service with her parents, a college student has an awkward encounter with her sugar daddy and her ex-girlfriend." Absolutely hilarious, just the right kind of painful. Definitely recommend.
