Shiva Baby is an uncomfortable comedy starring Rachel Sennot as Danielle, a student with an uncertain future who is earning money on the side, and not by baby-sitting, as she tells her parents. At a shiva with her family, Danielle has awkward encounters with her ex and others, as secrets and lies make everyone uncomfortable. The behaviour of those at the shiva, in particular the older women, is exaggerated but believable, and while we watch we feel as uncomfortable as Danielle and the others in the film.
