60 of 137 · most liked firstGood morning. I wrote a guest essay for the New York Times about the rise of "anxiety cinema," from Uncut Gems to Shiva Baby to If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. I argue that the more daily life feels like a panic attack, the more the great movies of our time are reflecting that feeling back at us:

neutral · AI labelView post →Shiva Baby is a psychological horror film 🥴
negative · AI labelView post →My ★★★★ review of Shiva Baby boxd.it/8oraV1 "Oh, you guys are at the Holocaust museum. You look so....happy!" Claustrophobic Cringe Comedy that feels like nightmare! Rachel Sennott is hysterically unhinged when her disparate worlds collide. Unique Queer Jewish perspective. #filmsky 📽🎥🎞🎬
positive · AI labelView post →Here are my #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday Two Lane Blacktop, Shiva Baby, Ida, and Variety. Great week.
neutral · AI labelView post →A+ movie week! Watched The Apartment (1960) - not in my last four, but I enjoyed. Finally watched Poor Things (2023), which was as great as I heard. And, The Phoenician Scheme (2025), Honey Don’t! (2025), and Shiva Baby (2020) - all great. 🎥 #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
positive · AI labelView post →SHIVA BABY is now streaming on Netflix or Hoopla/Kanopy with your library card! Is it a #horror movie? Mmmm, it’s certainly filmed like one! @donatobomb.bsky.social @daddydisco.bsky.social & @garrettmcdowell.bsky.social break down Rachel Sennott’s phenomenal breakout performance 🥯 #FilmSky

He’s a mensch! trailersfromhell.com/oy-vey/
neutral · AI labelView post →Shiva Baby just popped up on Max, from the director/star of Bottoms, it is an INCREDIBLE movie about Jewish disaster bisexuals, read as little as you can about it before you watch it if you can
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching SHIVA BABY (2020). Director: Emma Seligman. Rachel Sennott, Molly Gordon. Cringe comedy of escalating tensions at funeral service. #filmsky 📽🎥🎞🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know this podcast but SHIVA BABY is a dandy of an anxiety-inducing movie
positive · AI labelView post →Shiva Baby is a hilarious comedy film about a bi-sexual woman who goes to a ritual with her parents. She ended up seeing her ex-girlfriend, her sugar daddy and his wife. Great performances from the cast, brilliant writing and direction. #LGBT 13 #Filmsky #Moviesky #June

neutral · AI labelView post →Shiva Baby is the most awkward movie Ive ever seen
negative · AI labelView post →Emma Seligman is gonna make another movie soon, yes? Because between this and SHIVA BABY, they've got the goods in a major, major way.
neutral · AI labelView post →Shiva Baby (2020) was more of a horror movie than 95% of the horror movies I’ve watched in the last year. My anxiety is maxed out.
positive · AI labelView post →Finally got around to watching Shiva Baby. I was told this was a comedy. This is a horror movie if you're Jewish.
positive · AI labelView post →@stinasdemons.com The Mubi movies I binged on: The Five Devils Perfect Days The Florida Project The Bones (short film) Robot Dreams Paterson My First Film Shiva Baby Trouble Every Day Revenge
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched it for Molly Gordon whom I enjoyed in Booksmart (2019). I gave Oh, Hi 2.5 stars Another film I enjoyed with her was Shiva Baby (2020). She's not the star but her turn in the film is entertaining...that movie is good imo.
positive · AI labelView post →just watched “Shiva Baby” (2020), a cavalcade of fresh hells for its protagonist from beginning to end, a funeral comedy scored like a horror movie. also way too high a density of hot people, i was distracted 😅
positive · AI labelView post →I like how unhurried all these movies are except for Shiva,Baby, the most stressful film ever made.
negative · AI labelView post →Shiva Baby. (2020) Un petit film sympathique et sans prétention. La courte durée permet à Emma Seligman d’aller droit à l’essentiel, dans cette histoire de service funéraire vrillant sous la pression familiale. La réalisatrice trouve le bon équilibre entre humour et suspense quasi paranoïaque.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Shiva Baby as my final Pride movie and holy shit that's me if I was born hot and cis
positive · AI labelView post →Currently: “Shiva Baby” film on Netflix; “A Real Pain” film; “You Are Here” by David Nichols #momswritersclub
neutral · AI labelView post →Re-watching Shiva Baby. Forgot how stressful it is. Also forgot that Molly Gordon is in it. She needs to be in all of the things!
positive · AI labelView post →Oh man. I'm not a big fan of crowded spaces, noise, close talkers, small talk, questions, basically everything in that film 😀 it was like the world's funniest horror film for me My ★★★★ review of Shiva Baby on Letterboxd boxd.it/2rUGdH
positive · AI labelView post →A few picks: THE REF, if you don't mind watching a pre-Usual Suspects Kevin Spacey. Also has Dennis Leary and Kristine Baranski. It's also a Christmas movie. SHIVA BABY, with Rachel Sennot and Molly Gordon. BEYOND THE INFINITE TWO MINUTES, a japanese sci-fi comedy. Entirely shot in one take.
neutral · AI labelView post →recently added on Netflix: Shiva Baby My ★★★ review (2020) on @letterboxd: boxd.it/1ZaEmt
neutral · AI labelView post →Although I've never done some things that constitute major spoilers for SHIVA BABY (also I'm a gay Catholic man, not a bisexual Jewish woman) seeing that film tonight was 78 minutes of excruciating flashbacks to every ghastly family funeral, wake and memorial service I've ever attended. #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Just learned that SHIVA BABY only had a budget of $200k. Which is shockingly thrifty even for an indie film shot on a single-location.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok also watched Shiva Baby and loved it as well. As a bisexual Jew myself, though not in the same situation as Sennott's character, my god did the movie resonate with me lol 🎥📽️
positive · AI labelView post →Spell your name with movie titles. Ex Machina Last Action Hero You’ve Got Mail Shiva Baby Everything Everywhere All At Once
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally saw Shiva Baby last night and discovered that it genuinely is a horror movie. In fact, it’s a body horror—a film about the fear and agony of occupying a human body.
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve spent the past six weeks of movie watching only watching kiddo movies and I finally got to Letterboxd three adult movies - Twin Peaks FWWM, Mulholland Drive, and Shiva Baby. First time watches, of course. Fantastic return to form.
positive · AI labelView post →January is almost over and I've only just seen my first film in 2026 directed by a woman. Shame, Shame, Shame. Quite enjoyed Hedda, I think it would play well as a double feature with Shiva Baby. 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →I also think, between Bottoms, Bodies Bodies Bodies and Shiva Baby, the idea the comedy is dead on film is pretty clearly wrong. I think the fact that comedy is struggling at the box office is a sign audiences are want a new perspective, and these movies are great examples.
neutral · AI labelView post →Shiva Baby is another great Jewish horror movie.
positive · AI labelView post →If you’re a directionless recent college graduate I highly recommend to not watch Shiva Baby right now. Good movie tho!
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Shiva Baby (2020). Really great. A Serious Man meets Safdie brothers / early ‘mumblecore’ is a reductive summary but hey ho. A very funny very Jewish stress movie Also hadn’t seen the Tijuana Brass poster before
positive · AI labelView post →if you can check out the director and star's other movie, SHIVA BABY, it's incredible
neutral · AI labelView post →The challenge is to choose 20 movies that greatly influenced you One film per day for 20 days No explanations, no reviews, just posters #filmsky 5: 2024-08-19 Shiva Baby (2020) Dir: Emma Seligman
neutral · AI labelView post →This reminds me of the movie "Shiva Baby", which stars a Catholic woman playing a Jew and a blonde Jewish woman playing a non-Jew who everyone gossips about. People are *constantly* shocked to find out Dianna Agron (the blonde) is Jewish.
neutral · AI labelView post →The best new movie for Labor Day weekend (at least in SLC) is "Bottoms," director Emma Seligman's scathing satire of high-school movies, with Rachel Sennott (Seligman's "Shiva Baby" star) and Ayo Edibiri ("The Bear") hilarious as nerdy classmates who start an all-girl fight club. (Theaters.) 1/4
neutral · AI labelView post →Shiva Baby (2020) An anxiety attack in the form of a movie, in which a bisexual Jewish woman gets trapped at a shiva observance with her parents, her ex-girlfriend, her current "sugar daddy," his wife, their screaming baby, and a bunch of people who weirdly care about her weight. #Filmsky 📽️

neutral · AI labelView post →118. Shiva Baby (2020), directed by Emma Seligman, first time viewing Very funny and also like three-quarters of the movie is made up of moments where I would immediately want to crawl into myself and die if they happened to me in person.
positive · AI labelView post →If Anxiety is horror, then Shiva Baby is definitely a horror film.
positive · AI labelView post →My ★★★★½ review of Shiva Baby on Letterboxd boxd.it/aSm9q3
positive · AI labelView post →That's absolutely insane work to do that. Plus Bound not being in the top 10 is rude AF. Shiva Baby at 16 is fair because it's explicitly a bisexual movie not a lesbian movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched Shiva Baby (2021) and wow what a film.
positive · AI labelView post →It's really hard to feel confident I know any movie well enough in hindsight to say it's perfect But one that comes to mind for writing is Shiva Baby. Another tight little story that does just about everything it needs to do is Coherence.
positive · AI labelView post →anyway I really like SHIVA BABY, which you should check out because if nothing else it's shorter than any FRIDAY THE 13th movie so what have you got to lose. And whatever you think of the movie, this has got to be one of the best trailers of the decade
positive · AI labelView post →A recent one I just got to that I wish I hadn’t waited was Interstellar it’s scifi. If you like horror a cult horror film I love is The Witch (2016). If you like arthouse small stakes I watched and liked Shiva Baby recently. If you enjoy drama, Conclave. Historical period piece, Lee.
positive · AI labelView post →Am I up at 7.30am watching a film in the darkness on my new projector? Of course I am. (Shiva Baby, since you ask)
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie number 8 of 2025: Shiva Baby (2020), directed by Emma Seligman. Película número 8 de 2025: Shiva Baby (2020), dirigida por Emma Seligman.
neutral · AI labelView post →Emma Seligman and I are going to kick off the Toronto Teen Film Festival May 29th with a conversation about SHIVA BABY, BOTTOMS, anxiety, authenticity and party sandwiches. Tickets available here: app.entertainmentoxygen.com/festivals/6c...
neutral · AI labelView post →I quite enjoyed "Bottoms." We even watched her earlier film "Shiva Baby" because of it, and that was good too! And oh-em-geeeee, I absolutely loved Talk to Me. Highly recommend it if you like weird supernatural pop culture horror stuff.
positive · AI labelView post →After belatedly watching both UNCUT GEMS and SHIVA BABY, I'm beginning to wonder whether people refer to any movie as "a panic attack" whenever it's merely "Jewish characters talking over each other."
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s a brilliant film I think. I liked Bottoms too but Shiva Baby is a tiny masterpiece
positive · AI labelView post →Earlier today I watched Shiva Baby so it's a one and a half-movie day (as usual, Monsieur Sleepy has crapped out before we find out what happens in La Strada)
