#SilverScreenBlack reviews: 'Shiva Baby' (2020)



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

(1hr 17mins, USA)

📣Dangerous Liaisons: A young woman attends the worst funeral wake ever, as lovers old and new present her with a fate worse than death.

👍Expensive bangle:
Brilliantly crafted and exceptionally acted by its main cast of six, this comedy of errors turns ever so steadily into a nightmare as it delves into the suffocation created by gossip, the unbearableness of demeaning relatives, and the caustic nature of relationships.

👎Emotional tangle:
Hard to find faults with a film that I haven't enjoyed this consistently since 'Booksmart'!
Made for only $200,000, shot in only 16 days, and despite being (surprisingly!) rejected by Sundance, first-time director Emma Seligman astonishes with her multi-award-winning debut. Mazel tov!
