Shiva Baby

Started out so funny, but it just kept cycling through the same cast and setup and the laughs disappeared. Writing includes idiotic situations - like losing your cellphone at a party and then doing nothing to find it - like having someone call your number. Sympathetic character turns ugly with compulsive lying and deception. I did watch to the end, that's my fault. Don't make the same one. The baby will make you want to avoid babies forever.

Nothing to see here. A bunch of snobs at a post funeral gossip feast. Why would she stay? Why would he? Good talent gone to waste on a terrible script movie.

This is a very beautiful comedy with an interesting story that is portrayed with some black humor. It's simple and almost takes place in one location but it keeps getting tensional and hilarious through funny dialogues, that are full of lies and deceptions, and a beautiful intense score. Performances are real and great as well. Shiva Baby is an awesome well made movie but it's not a typical comedy for everyone.

My personal thoughts on any family reunion are bad but this movie shows the reason why it's those same questions asked by different people and the full house judging you and the story are awesome because it has the family drama and on top of that she encounters her ex-girlfriend and her sugar daddy and to make it worse everybody judges her on being Bi and for being unemployed so it's pretty messed up but the score is what makes this movie funny and dramatic... the writing, acting and directing is great for a first-time filmmaker not gonna lie... I liked it very much!

An intensely claustrophobic film which is basically a horror in disguise. It was like watching an inescapable nightmare and the kindness and attention lavished on the protagonist feels oppressive and unconcentual. There are funny moments but the comedy comes across as incidental; the overarching and continual theme is anxiety, which is induced from even the most benign situations and amped up very effectively by the unusual camera work and classic horror soundtrack.

Maybe I'm getting old but all these coming of age movies don't do the trick for me... this one has good ratings and good reviews. Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey! How ultra boring was that? The main character is very unlikeable, her mum is annoying, the incidental music was irritating. The list could go on but I am not gonna waste another minute of my life on this film...

Based on her eponymous short film (which I didn't see), the director gave us a great surprise, a film with solid black humor. Thanks to the direction and the performances, it is not known what will happen. It's a solid cross between humor, acid, and tension that works wonders.
