SHIVA BABY is a US dark comedy film in which a young woman experiences awkward reunions while mourning with her family.

language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘pussy’, ‘whore’, ‘bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘piss’, ‘ass’ and ‘screw’.
sex
A strong scene of sex features loud moaning and thrusting detail; afterwards there is fleeting sight of breast nudity. A woman kneels in front of a man and undoes his belt in an unsuccessful attempt to initiate oral sex. In another scene a woman takes a topless selfie - without visible nudity - and sends the picture to a man. There is a crude reference to a coffee stain as a 'come stain', as well as moderate verbal sex references to orgasms, oral sex, and to a woman’s transactional sexual relationship with her married ‘sugar daddy’.
additional issues
One woman refers to another’s bisexuality as ‘experimenting’, but this view is not condoned by the film. A woman experiences anxiety attacks, resulting in scenes of mild threat, and there are comic verbal references to a person’s hypothetical eating disorder. Other issues include sight of a small bloody wound on a woman’s leg after she accidentally injures herself.
