Oops. That must be awkward: turning up to a shiva only to bump into people you didn’t expect to bump into. Then again, if your universe is the New York Jewish community, it would be really strange not to bump into other inhabitants of that universe.
The whole setup sounds like it is another Woody Allen comedy — except it isn’t. Rachel Sennott shines as Danielle in Emma Seligman’s debut feature. Fred Melamed (A Serious Man, Hannah and Her Sisters) and Polly Draper as Danielle’s parents are pretty good, if a bit clichéd; maybe that was the whole point. And when you think it can’t get any more awkward, it just does.
