About
You’ll likely enjoy Shiva Baby if you like uncomfortable, anxiety-driven comedy in tight social spaces, as long as you’re okay with it being a little light and sometimes dragging; Not for you if you want more plot variety like The Half of It or a more upbeat vibe like Cha Cha Real Smooth.
Pros: claustrophobic tension; awkward laughs; strong lead performance | Cons: feels a bit light; can drag slightly
