uses a Jewish funeral and a shiva to trap a young woman with her parents, her ex-girlfriend, and her sugar daddy—all in one room. While not a “family,” the film’s claustrophobic energy captures what blended gatherings feel like: a negotiation of who gets to touch whom, who knows what secret, and where loyalty resides.
