Dianna Agron re-shared Utopia movies share of my Letterboxd review so you could say Dianna Agron endorsed my review.
i'm so proud of you :)
By the way, are you aware that Lindsay Ellis shouted out your Twilight retrospective and highlighting of indigenous peoples issues in her new video where she says all the things?
hey Amanda the Jedi Can you watch Lua vermelha from your review,i really really want to see you watching that
I would cry for days omg
I watched uncut gems and I could relate
"Who sends their wife and their sugar baby the same bracelet??" Sweetheart, they ALL do.
Avoids giving the wrong gift
yeah. I have some friend who works in a high-end hotel restaurant who tells me several men come in on Valentine's day with their wives and then come in on the next day with their mistresses! and yes sometimes they give them the same gifts! the same necklace! the same perfume! Unfreakingbelivable
@@MrAragon131 if it’s the same perfume their wives cannot smell another women on him
@@caithemburrow5569 good point
@@MrAragon131 the real question is why do people cheat...???
The amount of second-hand embarrassment and anxiety I felt from this review is incredible. I can't imagine WATCHING it...
Third-hand maybe? Anyway, I am cringing so much, I can barely watch the reviewww.
Yeah me too lol
Same. I would die if I had to watch that movie. It’s just claustrophobia, anxiety, second-hand embarrassment and all of my life’s fears all squashed into a movie and oh gods, I can’t.
Right!!!!! I had to constantly pause and take in a deep breath😩
This movie would kill me id just die. Overload of vicarious embarrassment. Which is why im glad we have amanda to watch things for us
Amanda: *describing movie plot*
Me: ......
Amanda: "it's been described as 'chaotically bisexual'."
Me: SAY NO MORE
literally dhdjdjd i was like interested enough to watch the video but not the film, but then she mentioned chaotic bisexuality,, baby say no MORE
lmao that's all it took for me to start opening links
Same!
Actually her identifying as Bi WITHOUT that being the focus is refreshing. It's not like sexual identity is THE ONE THING in anyone's life. People are more than that, so that's cool.
This is the reason why I hate hollywood films.
Exactly. As a bi person, I like seeing more representation in cinema (even though there’s not that much still, so we got a ways to go), and this is exactly how I like it… as the bisexuality being incidental. Another great indie movie I’d recommend that does this is Princess Cyd (2017) by Stephen Cone. Def stream it if you can
I'm sorry but where are all these bi characters that shove it in your face? I'd love to watch them.
i cant think of a single character that makes their sexuality their personality
Yes! I felt the same about Red White and Royal Blue. They acknowledge their sexuality but its a love story not a sexuality exploration story
"pure chaotic stress and anxiety contained in a single claustrophobic house" that sounds right about my life. Now i really wanna watch this movie
Same...
You should try actually sitting shiva. It’s a NIGHTMARE
Me, a chaotic neutral bisexual that has a job that cannot be explained to relatives without getting uncomfortably stared at: *sniffles* I feel so represented
Chaotic Neutral Bis are the best Bis. I would know, I’m one of them.
MEEEEEE
Im doing psychology and i still get the weird stares like.. "what do you mean you're not doing medicine?"
@@chetsi_099 I'm a bi adhd tattoo artist who's is majoring in Psychology but also majored in fine arts in the past, very hard to explain how I got here.
@@bluester7177 feel ya. Im planing to move to fashion myself😂 we got our work and words cut out for us
Having those plucked notes just make you realize that any family gatherings are horror movies
Why is Dianna Agron always casted as the significant other that gets cheated on? Burlesque, Tumbledown, that one Sam Smith music video, THIS! Weirdest typecast ever.
WAIT WHAT SAM SMITH'S I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE???? SHIT I JUST REALIZED THAT
Glee....
Wait no she did the cheating in glee.....
@Johnny Blaze just shows how unrealistic movies are bcs what kind of person would cheat on an angel
Dianna agron in shiva baby also got cheated on im-
Sometimes, I forget that Dianna Agron exists. And then I see her again in a movie and I feel ashamed for ever having forgotten her in the first place
Why?
I find it annoying how Dianna is alway cast as the super-gentile girl, when she’s actually Jewish. It’s weird to alway give a Jewish woman those “shiksa“ roles
I wouldn't be surprised if we never saw Dianna Agron again.
This is a niche joke/meme and in no way a critism of the actress.
I just saw this the other day at a little indie theater in Brooklyn and this is genuinely one of my favorite comedy thrillers of all time. I think it captures the horror of facing people who act like they know you but you’ve never met them a day in your life. I think the bisexual energy in this is also MWAH! Fantabulous.
Ugh I miss theaters... Can't stand to be stuck at home anymoooore
@@rubiademoraes did you not read the comment this guy said he literally just went to the theater you can to and if you don't that was your own choice so what on earth are you moaning about
@@Potatopot724 Have you considered they might be living in a different place with harder restrictions or there may have been conditions at the theater op went to that they might not be able to meet?
@@Potatopot724 or that the closest movie theatre to them might be 2 hours away like it is for me?
Chaotic Bisexual ? Dealing with anxiety and feeling like you haven't accomplished anything in your life ? I feel so seen by this movie I need to see it .
I love having just casual Jewish representation. It’s rly nice to hear all the Yiddish and to see little things throughout the movie like her kissing the Torah after it fell.
I find it annoying how Dianna Agron is alway cast as the super-gentile girl, when she’s actually Jewish. It’s weird to alway give a Jewish woman those “shiksa“ roles. It’s like in Glee, when Dianna played the “super-shiksa“, and the Jewish girl was so jealous of her so she wanted to have a nose job to look like her. those plot lines are antisemitic, so when they keep casting her as THE non-Jew in a Jewish film it makes me feel like they’re still using the same stereotypes that were used in Glee
@@toottoot75 omg you are so right. I never really thought about that.
yep. and again, the lead actress who plays the Jew, Rachel Sennott, is not Jewish
Aw but... Independence Day was so 'under the radar' about the jewish stuff tho.
@@kinagrill I’m not. Rly sure what you mean bc I’ve never seen it
“That’s perfect, you love marches and you love....to knit” i-
Molly Gordon's character in this movie was just 🤌
shiva baby is the type of movie to watch with your friends just for fun, not for the movie, just the experience
when you have no friends, so you just watched it alone......
I was going to say "you and your friends had weird ways to hang out" but then I remembered the time I watched The Skin I Inhabit with three friends and two aquitances so is not that weird really
i disagree. this is def the type of movie i'd watch alone and probably cry to
So, why are you watching this movie?
Me: Just for curious and bc Dianna love of my life Agron was in it. I saw her face, I clicked
Dianna Agron ? Ya, because same
Legit
I misread that last sentence as "I saw her face, I licked." And for a mili-second my brain went: "Yeah, sure, who wouldn't, it's Dianna Agron after all...but why would you post that on the internet?!"
@@NickShaw92 'cause I was thinking out loud hahaha
Her panic attacks were so well done tbh. I love it because it’s EXACTLY how I feel when visiting family
Yesss!! I’m an NYU film kid and one of my professors had us watch the short film version last year. We got to talk to the director too! At the time, the feature wasn’t even complete yet, kinda cool to think back on it.
yeah she's Canadian apparently but an NYU grad so it makes sense that they'd be showing it to you! Very cool
God I related to the experimenting comment
"Well just don't label yourself while you experiment"
"Its ok to experiment"
Blah blah blah like I've heard it all from my mom so I can relate
Dang that sucks man :') we love bi erasure yaaay
When my friend's mother did this to her, she started wearing a lab coat and safety goggles whenever she left the house to conduct her "experiments".
@@swagromancer your friend is an icon and I stand by that
@@0l._.l0895 I'll be sure to let her know :D
@@swagromancer Your friend seems really awesome, I'm kind of jealous.
The best thing this film does is accurately portray being at a family function when you really don't wanna be there and how awkward and chaotic it can be
8:33 WE NEED A FABERRY VIDEO!!!!! FOR RESEARCH... OF COURSE 👀
Why do I feel like I've heard of Shiva Baby before?
Edit: I want to see this movie. The only thing is when a character is being found out or there's going to be a confrontation, I mentally check out because I feel second-hand embarrassment.
It did some film fests last year and there was a short in 2018!
@@AmandaTheJedi I think someone mentioned it to me but holy hell, I want to watch this now.
Man, the constant grilling from relatives really reminds me of 2017. Prior to 2020, that was the worst year of my life. I dropped out of college twice due to a series of anxiety attacks, and talking with my relatives in October at my uncle’s funeral was one hell of a minefield.
That sounds like an actual nightmare
"Heartfelt Chaotic Disaster" is a description I never thought I would ever hear about a movie, especially a great one.
For unknown reasons this movie made me cry. The moment it hits her that she doesn't know what she is doing with her life and she wants to be more and do more but at the same time doesn't know how to do it all spoke to me more than I thought it would.
The trailer looked chaotically hilarious. I can’t wait to see it
I actually had, like... a mini-panic attack at the end of the video where it showed Dani breaking down. I had a breakdown a few weeks ago after being confronted by my parents regarding college graduation and finally admitting to them I had no idea what I'm supposed to do.
I haven't even watched the movie and already it cuts deep. Jesus.
Glad, "My Anxiety!" is back. Can we make, "I should talk to someone." a thing too!
I just watched this yesterday and hated how much I related to it. It was great.
The most unrealistic thing about this film is that anyone would ever cheat on Dianna Agron... She's like the most beautiful person alive.
Oh baby ugly/mediocre ppl cheat all the time lol doesn’t matter how gorgeous their partner may be
I don’t think you mean to send the message “if you’ve been cheated on, it could have been prevented if you were more attractive.”
Jennifer Aniston was cheated on. Princess Diana was cheated on. Freaking Audrey Hepburn was cheated on. Cheating says more about the cheater than the person who has been cheated on.
Unfortunately that's the most realistic part. A cheater could be with a literal goddess and still cheat (pretty sure that's what 90% of greek myths are about)
There is a saying that goes something like this: “It is less about how you feel about the person as it is about how you feel about yourself when you are with them.” You can be with someone beautiful and still not feel good about yourself.
I think that’s the whole point (and the reason she often plays roles where she’s cheated on). If a character cheated on a deadbeat who looked awful then the audience could justify it or find ways to even celebrate the cheater. (Ie. They did something awful but upgraded, maybe they should have just met her sooner)
When Dianna Agron gets cheated on (or someone else who is the same archetypal perfect person) then the audience is forced the acknowledge that the cheater is the messed up one.
If the sugar baby was way hotter than the wife she might feel good about herself, but because Kim is perfect and incredible, the sugar baby realizes how badly she fucked up, how the guy is a complete scrub, etc.
That director knew what she was doing casting Dianna .... the Dianna simp army is so strong
Chaotic bisexual twerking
@Vivian Russell 🎩hats off to you
I misread it as 'catholic' 😆
@@elliotville7820 🤣
"I'm sure he eats out a lot."
8D I DIED.
Don't mind me just interacting for the algorithm
a true hero
Just watching these clips & listening to Amanda's commentary has my anxiety through the roof. I don't think I can handle this movie.
As a Diana Agron fan I’m feeling very cornered right now... 😂😂
I just love how I have the same exact reaction as yours when it comes to Diana Agron, holy shit how is she this pretty
I'm like that with secondhand embarrassment. I cant sit through embarrassing scenes without being mortified from the inside out and I have had to turn it off a few times.
me too, i usually skip scenes like that in any movie, series. I just can't bear to watch
Who are you
Chaotic bisexual
Lawful gay
or
neutral straight
Neutral straight who is sad and lonely and wants to die.
Chaotic bisexual, I'm not sure it I'm bi or pan
Wow, I really am a boring, lawful gay who does nothing exciting with my life. Just studies and researches. No chaos, no excitement, no nothing. Probably the most boring gay out there ever... haha... fml
Can I be neutral bisexual? I'm too tired to be chaotic 😴
Neutral straight
Chaotic neutral
Take with that as you will. Haha
I'm so happy that Jews are starting to make films about/for us that aren't Holocaust related. Like this is so relatable to young adult Jewish women so much. So SO glad you did a review on it!
This is not some breakthrough..have you never seen a film before?
@@aikaterineillt9876 ...For us Jews it is a breakthrough. Most Jewish representation are horrendous stereotypes, they're Jewish but it's never brought up unless for jokes, or Holocaust movies.
@@whimsyrosie Maybe Crazy ex girlfriend and idk, it's a comedy but The Nanny?
Oh god Faberry fanfiction. I've not thought about that in a good long time.
Man, we were robbed from the award winning ship. Their chemistry was so perfect, lea and dianna made faberry look so good together i just can't. They could've been the couple of the century 😭
agreed
gosh, just listening to this 20 min recap about the movie was stress and anxiety inducing, i don't think i could even come close to lasting the full runtime in all its glory
I relate so much with danielle even though I'm not bi, a sugar baby or Jewish
It's the stress isn't it? Can't get anymore relatable than that.
When i was younger i could get through anything, now i dont even like tension or some kind of problem happening in movies or series. Like, i get so stressed out. Im glad to find im not the only one that gets anxious. Love ya vids, keep it up
Dianna Agron could tell me to do anything in that tone and you bet I'm gonna do it.
not gonna lie, this seems like it could be one of my favourite movies. thank you amanda for showing it to me! i’ll be sure to watch it.
It's kind of funny that Dianna Agron gets these parts (Quinn Fabray) and this movie where she is aggressively non-Jewish (on glee she was the head of their Christian group and Rachel wanted the surgeon to give her Quinn's nose when she was going to get her's done to be less Semitic, and this movie she is referred to as the Shiksa the dude married) when she in real life IS Jewish.
I watched this with my parents, which made it *so much more awkward* and I ended up hiding under a blanket with just my eyes poking out for most of it.
amanda: you guys should watch this movie!!!
also amanda: here is every single thing that happens in the movie
Thank you for summarising this movie because I got in 30 minutes in and I couldn't handle it. I don't mind horror and almost nothing gory bothers me, but for some reason whenever I see a really awkward situation I just can't handle it in movie form (I was skipping the ending part of this video too lol)
Ok, horror and disaster I can take. This level of social angst and pressure would send me running for the hills.
I've felt, experienced, or feared every second that occurs in this movie. The whole family thing at the funeral was too relatable. Moving far, far, away was the best choice. Just too much awkwardness 😔😔😔
"Yeah, seems like he eats out a lot", why Amanda, that was perfect TwT
I dont know who any of the actors are in this movie. Im a guy who is 31, has a physical disability, never had a job and cant find a girlfriend. I relate to the anxiety of mc so much. Ive told white lies to my extended family and had anxiety just watching your review of this movie.
Anytime anyone talks about that many Jewish women in a room, related to me or just "knew my grandma" makes my anxiety skyrocket so much. The mumbling behind her as soon as she turns is too real
You had me at “chaotic bisexual”!
Must watch this seems fantastic and relatable
I can certainly relate to the feelings of doing nothing with my life at an age where I should have things figured out. I worry that this movie might be better enjoyed by me when I'm at a point where I can look back and laugh at the past...instead of crying at the present. This looks very good.
As interesting as aspects of this sound, I think the second hand stress would either kill me, or at least send me into my own breakdown which I really cannot take right now :)
Watched Amanda's video twice, then finally worked up the nerve to suffer through the second hand embarrassment of the actual movie and it was totally worth it! Great film. Couldn't have done it without this video to help me through it! 😂
This sounds relatable af. I need to see it!
Dani should've gone for the wife as revenge on the guy.
"life will come in & clothesline you" damn.
"My anxiety!"
One of my favourite catch phrases.
Honestly Amanda, that little talk about change and how we all will be at chaotic times in our lives... I really needed that. Thank you.
Like I came for the stellar review, and stayed for the therapy. 💖
as a bisexual 'condolences' is probably the best response to my (none existing) romantic life
Faberry- a ship that will always sail happily through my heart
$4 on Cineplex and a bargain at twice the price. This immediately earned a spot on my "2021" hidden gem list. I don't know if a comedy played as a horror working this well is a fluke or if Emma Seligman is a straight up genius, but either way, between this and White Lie, Canada is developing a reputation for some fantastic anxiety inducing watching.
I watched it and it was quite well done, the way it builds tension, adding to the general feeling of anxiety. Definitely relatable for those who don't care for crowded social settings.
I watched it as soon as it was released on MUBI because of your suggestion! Probably one of the most anxiety inducing things I've seen outside of horror ^^'
17:55 not me crying because my life feels like it's put together/perfect and falling apart at the same time.
How you gonna do me like that girl
It stressed me more than Midsummar, loved it
Fun fact: Polly Draper, who played Danielle's mom, is Nat and Alex Wolff's mom in real life. Also she played Jenny Slate's mom in Obvious Child, which is another really great movie I wanna watch again
The wife def knows what's up she just wanted to have them caught.
This movie IS SO MUCH in a perfect little bit of time & the ending made me feel so good! I have to watch it again.
The thing about the stress of the movie is that it is all worth is because she is allowed to break down and cry at the end. As someone who experiences panic attacks and anxiety that moment was so cathartic, it felt so incredibly real and validating
I had a dream you reviewed “a week away” and got confused when I couldn’t find the video lol
That movie hits so close to home with me being a new graduate that has no fucking clue how to get to the point where they want to be at and is very much anxiety ridden because of that.
Saw it a few days back, it's like Francis Ha on Steroids.Loved it!
Shiva is actually pronounced Shiv-Ah in Hebrew. שבעה in Hebrew means seven (for masculine nouns). It's a shortened version of שבעה ימים (seven days) which is the main period of mourning in Judaism. During this time the family sometimes sits in a white tent outside their house, sometimes even sleeping in there, for a whole week while their family and friends come to visit them and help them mourn (the tent is a more traditional way, a lot of people mourn in their house). After than, there's a period of a month of mourning that proceeds the Shiv-ah. לשבת שבעה (Lashevet Shiv-ah, basically translated to "to sit the seven" or "to sit Shiv-ah) is the verb describing the act of the family's mourning. Also, some traditions may change depending on whether the family is Ashkenazi, Mizrahi or Sepharadi. Just a little lesson from me, a Jewish gal (and a fluent Hebrew speaker)
Edit: damnn as a bi Jew I'm here for this movie
Man, I fully appreciate your new ability to make it through this, because I couldn't even make it through your video before the embarassment squick got to be too much for me. I hit the part where all her pics started coming in and went "...Nope. Nope, I can't see what the coming reaction to that is, and I really can't watch it get even worse from here."
Incredibly relatable lead, as someone who spent most of their 20s stagnating and endlessly awkward and embarassed feeling when I saw old friends or distant family and had nothing worth talking about to tell them when they asked about my life.
I so appreciate your insight on these movies that I know I CANNOT handle watching for one reason or another. But you have a gift of explaining things I wouldn't even have noticed or gained a certain perspective without your videos (and some of the sounds you make are hilarious)! Thank you so much for being so insightful and entertaining 💖
Man at this point I am sure I might look crazy commenting on all of your videos but they are honestly amazing and I can relate with everything you say. Especially the Dianna Agron fangirling lol
DIANNA AGRON AND FABERRY FANFIC. This was not why I started watching your channel but it with every video you mention more things I like lmao. I'm thrilled you did this movie! Totally gonna check it out now
I relate to being a chaotic bisexual who dont know what to do and changes her major several times sooo much. Also faberry fanfics ruled back in the day.
Thank you for that exhilarating summary, you kept it moving at a riveting pace
It’s 2 AM where I live and this is just what I needed at the perfect moment. I have been really struggling with my future and not having everything figured out, with ideas of changing majors after only just starting and being in crisis because I don’t know what to do with my life. And it helped a lot to just hear you say that everyone goes through the same, and that you don’t have to have all in order by the time you’re 20. So thank you! You made my night and I truly enjoy watching your videos.
The BBC showed Shiva Baby over Christmas and thank you for the recommendation!
Thanks for making this. It's probably going to be too difficult for me to watch this, given I've not been in a great situation myself, but maybe I can appreciate it a little by just looking in through the window of a reviewer.
Sometimes I think I’m faking being gay for attention and then I watch shiva baby and everything makes sense again
not to take your funny comment and make it serious but do some bi ppl really stress about that?? I feel like if you’re worried you’re faking it you’re definitely something other than a 0 on the kinsey scale cuz straight straight ppl wouldn’t stress about that lol anyway hope you have a good one, fam
Ooh i feel that too. Especially because I've some attention issues. And more especially when I've dated like one woman till now. It's like I dont have the proof
@@TheFreshTrumpet oh yeah im a lesbian haha i appreciate it tho
@@TheFreshTrumpet Yes, some bi people do stress about that. Especially until we figure ourselves out. In my case, I hadn't even heard the expression bisexual, so I had no idea what was "wrong" with me since I fell for both boys and girls. All I knew was that I wasn't straight and wasn't gay, so something must be "wrong" with me, since I only knew about liking your own sex and the opposite - not that you could actually like both. Hence - stress. Until I found about the wonderful word: bisexual. :D
@@TheFreshTrumpet yes, yes I stress about it 24/7 even though I’ve been in relationships with both men and women
This is the kind of film I would love and desperately need to watch but would totally give me a panic attack
I rewatched this after your Bottoms review, and now I’m feeling like I need a Shiva Baby rewatch too
It was a good movie enjoyed your retelling of it cus I missed the part were she found the phone so glad I have closer . Also your retelling it made me realize how much I appreciate the sound as well . Thank keep up the good work .
I laughed, I was anxious and got angry at times. Amazing and somewhat relatable movie. The music too.
literally paused the video roughly a minute in and watched the whole movie before coming back to finish this. 10/10 would recommend this movie, the soundtrack made this really intense. please keep sharing great movies with us!!
Can I just say my favorite part of this movie was Maya and Danielle’s relationship. Her relationship with her parents makes me cringe so badly though lol.
We need to be friends. You got me to start reading Alice/Bella fanfictions and I already read Faberry fanfictions. Please let’s be friends so I can fangirl over things with someone that understands why I love it so much
lol, sounds like a perfectly safe offer.
Just so you know it was not a Torah. A Torah is very big and not in people's homes but in the shul and has two scrolls covered, etc... It was probably a sidur which is a prayer book. When it falls to the ground you pick it up and kiss it and put it back. Same thing with any sefer (holy book). This is not a big deal because I can see how people would make that mistake but it is a small correction.
This was the comment I was looking for! Very semantic, but if it was actually a Torah that would have been a much bigger of an issue (you know with the fasting and all haha).
Glad you're talking about it, I was wondering if I should watch that.
danielle from shiva baby 🤝dani clayton from the huanting of bly manor
stealing my heart
broke down today, and found that this review helped explain some of the things that went down. thank you
It’s my favorite of the year so far. Admittedly I haven’t seen as much as I’d like to have seen but I thoroughly enjoyed this one I’ve seen it twice already.
