There is a seven-day free trial, and after that, it's £9.99 per month – so if you only want to watch Shiva Baby, make sure to set your calendar to cancel that trial. However, if you are already an Amazon Prime member in the UK, you can purchase the MUBI channel.
In the UK, Shiva Baby is being screened online exclusively by MUBI. However, if you missed it (which given the ongoing health situation is understandable), you can still watch it on Amazon Prime Video for $4.99. If you're in the USA, you'll have had the opportunity to see it in cinemas already. However, you could also argue that the repeated beats, each time slightly more stressful than the last, provide precisely the atmosphere Seligman was trying to achieve: a relentless, anxiety-inducing nightmare trip. The feature-length version was adapted from Emma Seligman's own 2018 short film of the same name, and sometimes you can feel the movie losing breath as it fights for its feature-length run time. Set to a horror-inspired score, complete with a screaming infant, Shiva Baby is a smorgasbord of genre that shouldn't work, but does. The story, which isn't so much a story as the slow reckoning of Danielle's identity, unravels under the claustrophobic and omnipresent eye of her parents, as well as the whole gang of Jewish friends and family. Shiva Baby takes place during a Shiva (a memorial service after a Jewish funeral) where Danielle, a directionless soon-to-be university graduate, is surprised to find herself amongst not only her ambitious ex-girlfriend (Molly Gordon) but also her sugar daddy (Danny Deferrari) and, surprise! his non-Jewish wife ( Dianna Agron) and their baby, neither of whom she knew existed.
