Interrupted my horror marathon (that I am aggressively behind on) to check this out and...fuck yes. But also, as someone who identifies as bisexual and has had a handful of uncomfortable experiences during family get-togethers because of that, this is at least SORT OF a horror movie. Right?
Depending on availability, I predict myself watching this at least 5 more times before the end of the year. Rachel Sennott rules.

was thinking today that i should rewatch Hereditary and then I was like “c’mon man you’ve got the day off. watch something chill, take it easy.” then i watched Shiva Baby instead and the effect on my heart rate was probably the same. this that good good though!!! the kind of fun anxiety that makes me go “oh noooOOOOOO” every few minutes. reminds me of a few nightmares i have had and several panic attacks i have also had, except i paid $6.99 to have it this time and then logged onto the internet to tell you all you should really try this kick-ass panic attack
emma seligman is awesome. this movie rules AND it’s 77 minutes!! it always sounds…
it’s like a car crash you can’t look away from in the best possible way, i’m obsessed. so many good lines but the prize goes to “you’re projecting a lot of misogyny for a future women’s march organizer”
