Shiva Baby (2020)

Sennott’s breakout role as Danielle in Shiva Baby showcases her ability to navigate complex emotional landscapes. The film, set during a Jewish funeral service, traps the protagonist in a web of personal confrontations, blending comedy with palpable tension. I was absolutely stressed watching this movie, but was also absolutely hooked.

Her performance here earned the Gotham Independent Film Award for “Breakthrough Actor.” You can watch Shiva Baby now on Netflix.

Utopia

Bottoms (2023)

Bottoms is one of my favorite movies! In this audacious teen comedy, Sennott co-wrote and starred as PJ, a high school senior who, alongside her best friend Josie (Ayo Edebiri), starts a female fight club to attract cheerleaders.

The film subverts traditional teen movie tropes, offering a fresh and humorous take on high school, friendship, and romance. You can watch Bottoms on Prime Video.
