Danielle meets her family to attend a post Shiva gathering. If having to deal with the prying eyes of family and friends wasn't bad enough, her ex-girlfriend shows up...and so does her boyfriend...and his wife...and their baby.
Wickedly funny and on target story of a family gathering will have you laughing and squirming. This is film version of a gathering of family that we;ve all been at. Sure not everyone is Jewish, but the complications are something we've all experienced. I've been to gatherings like this and I know of what this film speaks.
I loved this film. It was put solidly on my radar by Danielle Solzman who had first tweeted good things about the film and then wrote a wonderful review that made me want to see it more. I want to do for you what Danielle did for me which is put the film on your radar. I want you to search it out and find its wonders.
Certain to be on my end of the year lists- SHIVA BABY is highly recommended.
And now if you don't mind I'm going to go watch the film again
Endorse! We saw this during the summer through the JFI and it's great to see it get more exposure.
