Details

This special limited edition slipcover (designed by Brianna Miller) is limited to 500 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

Founded in 2002 as one of the first-ever subscription film services with its DVD-of-the-Month Film Club, Film Movement is now a North American distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films based in New York City. In 2015, Film Movement launched the reissue label Film Movement Classics featuring new restorations released theatrically as well as on home video, with an emphasis on films by auteur directors such as Eric Rohmer, Peter Greenaway and Takeshi Kitano.

In this acerbic teen comedy, a funeral becomes a battleground between best friends Carrie Lowstein (Madeline Grey DeFreece) and Hannah Rosen (Rachel Sennott, breakout star of SHIVA BABY). When their former Hebrew school classmate commits suicide, the two girls attend her funeral as well as the "Teen Talk-back" session hosted by their synagogue, designed to be an opportunity for them to understand grief through Judaism. Hannah, more interested in impressing her crush Tristan (Daniel Taveras), convinces Carrie to practice kissing with her, unlocking feelings that turn Carrie's world upside down. Emotions heightened, the scene develops into a biting depiction of unrequited crushes, toxic friendships, and wavering faith, which ComingSoon calls "one of the most original films in the coming-of-age subgenre in a long time."

Reviews

Bizarre Aspect Ratio, Why Is This Exactly Like Shiva Baby?

"Can someone explain why Rachel Sennott starred in two films that are exactly the same length where she plays Jewish students who are involved in a funeral and have a lesbian (or somewhat lesbian) relationship? And what is with this bizarre aspect ratio?"

Jeffrey M. (2/5)

Short but fun.

"Short but fun."

Franklin R. (4/5)

Early Sennot

"I had previously seen this on streaming so it's nice to have a physical copy! Very nice cover art with a handful of special features. Big Rachel fan so it's nice to have this on the shelf along with Shiva baby and I used to be funny. Handful of special features bonus points for a booklet!"

Anthony L. (4/5)

Unusual romance of values

"Rachel Sennott is one to watch. An early role before her superstardom emerges. She’s hilarious and unconventionally beautiful whilst caring and loving in an odd romance of caring beyond words. Slow by nature it’s a terrific film with equally as quirky / interesting extra features. Artwork in cover is striking."

Shane B. (5/5)

so good!

"Glad i got it when i did"

tyler j. (5/5)

Tahara

"A sharp coming‑of‑age drama that unfolds within the confines of a Jewish funeral, mixing grief with teenage self‑absorption."

Pierre-Yves L. (4/5)

Beautiful

"Beautiful"

Ian C. (4/5)

Another Rachel Sennott winner

"Rachel Sennott is fast becoming one of my favorite actresses. With this and Shiva Baby, she’s somehow become the face of Jewish grief in comedies. This is another winner with some big laughs and great performances."

Brennan B. (4/5)

Rachel Sennott flick

"This is a solid current dramedy. The two lead actresses are great. I've been on a Rachel Sennott kick as of late and this is a nice release. Also got this rather quickly - it must have been in stock on the website."

Albert H. (4/5)

Another great release by Film

"Another great release by Film Movement, this is just a fantastic package all around. Rachel Sennott is by far the greatest young actress out there today and after watching Shiva Baby I knew I had to catch all her work. She doesn't disappoint here. Very funny and well filmed. Great purchase!"
