Shiva Baby is a short coming of the age story told from a Jewish experience and perspective. The similarities to Krisha and Yes God Yes are inevitable for many reason mainly because of the runtime. Less than 80 minute feature films are supposed to be TV movies but directors are bold enough to trust their content such that they are willing to release it theatrically.
The entire film takes place in a Jewish funeral home with our protagonist Danielle (Rachel Sennott), a soon to be graduate who also tends to make money by indulging in sex work secretively without the knowledge of her friends and family. The story begins when she meets a customer of hers in the funeral. It starts as an awkward comedy with a lot of uncomfortable scenes but the third act is quite good leading to a sweet conclusion.
