The unravelling strands of aimless college senior Danielle’s life collide at a shiva in this cringingly hilarious feature debut from writer/director Emma Seligman.

“An exhilarating and compassionate film about love, death, loneliness – and the life-affirming importance of dessert.” – Lisa Mullen, Sight & Sound
