Shiva Baby is a 2020 comedy film directed and written by Emma Seligman, based on a 2018 short of the same name.The movie depicts Jewish college senior Danielle (Rachel Sennott), who is asked by her overly attentive parents (Polly Draper and Fred Melamed) to attend a Shiva service,note A Jewish mourning period of seven days, and has nothing to do with the Hindu god or anything else from Indian culture where she runs into her more successful ex-girlfriend Maya (Molly Gordon), her sugar daddy Max (Danny Deferrari), his current wife Kim (Dianna Agron), and their baby Rose. As a result, the shiva becomes extremely stressful — Danielle tries to cope with the overwhelming confusion of it happening while trying to keep her relationship with Max a secret. | |

Casting Gag | |
| Shiva Baby / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: Apparently, casting Dianna Agron as not-Jewish Kim was an in-joke, playing off Agron actually being Jewish and her best-known role being the gentile foil to a Jewish girl. Rachel Sennott is also not Jewish, unlike Agron, which underlines the joke. | |

Jewish Mother | |
| Shiva Baby / int_7130202a | comment |
Jewish Mother: Danielle's mom is a stereotypical demanding, hard to satisfy, Jewish mother that often complains about and to her daughter, frustrated with her life choices and current status. However, when Danielle becomes genuinely upset, she also comforts her and tells her not to worry. | |

Bisexual Love Triangle | |
| Shiva Baby / int_85c4ebe0 | comment |
Bisexual Love Triangle: Danielle is seeing her sugar daddy Max, but still finds her ex-girlfriend Maya enticing too. She and Max later end things. The final shot implies that she and Maya might get back together, since they're holding hands as they stare at each other smiling. | |

Double-Meaning Title | |
| Shiva Baby / int_a4905771 | comment |
Double-Meaning Title: Shiva Baby refers to Rose, the baby inappropriately brought to the shiva whose constant screaming punctuates the relationship stress between her parents, and how Danielle constantly feels infantilized throughout the film. In addition, it's a pun on "sugar baby", Danielle's relationship with Max. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Max, Danielle's sugar daddy, turns out to be a distant friend of the family through work relationships with her father and is a part of the local Jewish community, so he and Danielle appear at the wake in quick succession. | |

We Do Not Know Each Other | |
| Shiva Baby / int_e250f2af | comment |
We Do Not Know Each Other: Played with. Danielle and Max pretend to only vaguely know one another after participating at the same event together one time, awkwardly trying to maintain the lie (or start deliberately unraveling it) with different people. Danielle also tried to downplay her relationship with Maya in front of Max, but that just makes Maya want to emphasize it more. | |
