The dazed and confused 20-something is a well-recognized character across every type of film genre. But this might possibly be the first-ever exploration of the archetype to be set almost entirely at a shiva! 

 

Danielle, played by Rachel Sennott, can’t catch a break when her ex-girlfriend, as well as her current sugar daddy, both show up at the same solemn event. Throw in an exasperating collection of prying relatives and Danielle nearly comes to wish that she be the reason for all the mourners.

 

Watch the film on Netflix.
