Rachel Sennott in Shiva Baby. Utopia
From its title on down to the rugelach, âShiva Babyâ is an instant classic in the Jewish comedy of mortification, a genre that combines hilarity, anxiety, resentment and schmaltz. Even better, itâs a groundbreaker, one of the few to be written and directed by a woman, Emma Seligman, and to center on a woman character, played by the comedian/actress Rachel Sennott (who was raised Catholic, but never mind). At just 77 minutes and largely bound to one location, the filmâs a slip of a thing, but it lacerates and celebrates its narrow turf with a microscopic eye for detail.
