Shiva Baby

I don't think I've ever been so tense while watching a film

Shiva Baby

“Listen to your mother and don't marry anyone til you've slept with what, at least 10 people...” Hearing people rave over this film really garnered my interest - some comparing it to Uncut Gems, a film I really enjoyed. Suffice to say, I did finally go out of my way to watch it and it was pretty good. I wouldn’t go out of my way to say it’s as good as a film like Uncut Gems, but it definitely has style. It’s a pretty self-contained story set mostly within a house during a funeral service. It plays out like a horrible dream where everyone is judging you as you try and not make a fool of yourself - It’s not so much stressful as it is painfully uncomfortable. It’s pretty short, so I’d say just give it a shot and see if you might enjoy it.

“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘎𝘸𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘺.” Gossip is one of the oldest forms of entertainment. But when stuffed like fumes in a Jewish household, you get a mass murder of emotions that run high and dry. You stay at the edge of the seat, wondering when the bomb will go off. And when it does, "𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵" and "𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸" have never been so heartbreaking than ever before. 🥮🥮🥮 If you enjoyed this write-up, please consider purchasing my novella here (https://nathansnook.bigcartel.com/).
