Shiva Baby - Reviews

...a tightly wound movie, with almost every minute dedicated to some kind of moment of strife.

Seligman's script will strike a sharp chord in anyone that has run into overly-complicated situations at a family gathering (i.e., just about everyone).

...a sort of endless festivus of cringe so visceral it borders on body horror.

This is a very intense, claustrophobic black comedy...

Rare is the comedy that seems to make time stand still. But for 77 cringeworthy and hilarious minutes, that’s what writer-director Emma Seligman pulls off...

Her performance and the film itself are incredible studies of insecurity and anxiety.

Seligman’s writing is sharp, laying out the complex histories of, and relationships between, the many characters in naturalistic but surprising ways...

The film offers up an array of impressive performances.

...a wonderful, toe-curling comedy, led magnificently by a luckless Rachel Sennott.

Det er jødiske traditioner og stereotyper, der kommer under lup og pustes op i humorens navn...

...som at være spærret inde i et brændende hus af utilstrækkelighed.

Der er en sisyfosagtig, drilsk rytme i det absurde kammerspil. Små og store gentagelser, der kun bliver mere komiske for hver gang.
