A debut clips has landed for the upcoming Shiva Baby, the indie film that has been delighting on the festival circuit over the past few months. The film will be available exclusively in the UK on MUBI from 11 June 2021.
The film played at 2020’s Toronto International Film Festival and SXSW this year, and we absolutely loved it.
Here’s the synopsis:
A darkly playful comedy of unease about a young bisexual woman grappling with tradition and independence, Shiva Baby tells the story of Danielle (Rachel Sennott), a college student on the verge of graduating who is faced with a series of increasingly awkward and humiliating encounters at a climactic day-long shiva, a Jewish gathering of friends and family during a time of mourning.
Shiva Baby is written and directed by Emma Seligman and stars Rachel Sennott, Molly Gordon (Booksmart), Polly Draper (Billions, The Good Wife), Fred Melamed (WandaVision, The Morning Show, A Serious Man) and Dianna Agron(Berlin, I Love You, Glee).
