Review of Shiva Baby (2021) by Dawdlingpoet — 16 Feb 2022

This is a quite claustrophobic feeling domestic drama, with a really good use of stringed instrument type music to really bring home the tension felt in certain scenes. The camerawork used also really highlights the almost suffocating atmosphere the main character finds herself in.

I thought the main performance was very well done by Rachel Sennott. I also liked the way strong lighting/colours were used to again highlight the sense of I suppose intensity and tension present in scenes.

Yes, I'd recommend this film as a good indie film, a good film about social judgements in a Jewish funeral setting I guess.
