شيفا بيبي

version française

Based on her eponymous short film (which I didn't see), the director gave us a great surprise, a film with solid black humor. Thanks to the direction and the performances, it is not known what will happen. It's a solid cross between humor, acid, and tension that works wonders.

This movie was the most anxiety producing movie I've seen in a while and nothing even happened.

The acting, the characters. All the yelling aunts and cousins made my ears bleed. The music was from 1970 horror flick. It was incredibly boring.we all attend wakes or shivas and they are never this boring. Just a waste of celluloid.

It said it was a comedy movie and some people here said it was hilariously funny. I'm sorry but what part of it was funny? It was mostly a boring movie than funny. Nothing funny about going to a shiva. That person being question and judged, that was funny??? Not at all. Was mostly a boring movie than funny.

This is the worst movie i've ever seen. The sounds, music and constant chatting drove me mad. It was exhausting to the point that it gave me a headache.

Hollywood has taken a lot of body blows recently; from COVID; from the endless demand for streaming content; and from audience pushback against Tinseltown's horrid culture of self-adoration. Viz, the historically low ratings for the award shows. The only content sector unaffected by all his is the indie category. And, with almost Biblical timing, along comes Emma Seligman, an indie writer/director with an ear for dialog and an eye for staging a scene. She faithfully delivers just the sort of fun ethnic romp which, only a few short years ago, would have been the exclusive territory of a "name" writer or director. Good for her! Recommended.

This movie definitely exceeded my expectations. If you enjoyed Trey Edward Schultz's "Krisha", and you want another story of a woman at a family gathering with an atmosphere of uncomfortable tension punctuated by a low-key score, but as a comedy, you'll probably really enjoy this movie. Maintaining a strong sense of energy/tension/discomfort/hilarity for a whole movie IS VERY VERY DIFFICULT and VERY IMPRESSIVE. From the perspective of the protagonist Danielle everyone else seems to have their lives figured out and her refusal to be honest about her uncertainty of where her life is going leads to plenty of awkward miscommunication and amusing moments. The performers' delivery of the script is great, which is a huge relief, because great scripts, particularly for comedies, can fall flat if the delivery isn't perfectly in-sync with the screenwriter's intent. Plenty of indie comedies with decent scripts lack convincing dialogue delivery. The tension builds along with the intensity of the score and the suffocating way the shots are composed. The grinning faces of Danielle's elderly relatives are occasionally framed in a way that they appear comically menacing. I'm always looking for good comedies, which can be hard to come by. This is sincerely the best comedy movie of 2020. EXCELLENT JOB EMMA SELIGMAN I AM NOW A FAN!

Great movie, did not expect to like it that much. Don't be fooled by a comedy tag, it's definitely not a film for everyone. Dark, awkward and cringe it's made for you to feel claustrophobic and anxious (ergo the annoying crying baby). Excellent performance and well executed movie, maybe just don't smoke w while watching, it's pretty intense.

Started out so funny, but it just kept cycling through the same cast and setup and the laughs disappeared. Writing includes idiotic situations - like losing your cellphone at a party and then doing nothing to find it - like having someone call your number. Sympathetic character turns ugly with compulsive lying and deception. I did watch to the end, that's my fault. Don't make the same one. The baby will make you want to avoid babies forever.
