Tiny Furniture

Dunham plays Aura, an aimless, jilted film school graduate who returns home on what she hopes is a temporary basis.

Having been dumped by her boyfriend after graduation, Aura (Lena Dunham) moves back home to her mother's loft in Tribeca for the summer.

Aura's plan is to save money until her friend Frankie finishes her degree at Oberlin College and can move to the city so that they can be roommates.

Shortly after arriving home, Aura goes to a party where she meets Jed, a mildly successful filmmaker who puts his work on YouTube.

The news that she has landed a job is quickly overshadowed by the fact that Nadine has won a prestigious poetry prize for high school students.

Aura begins to feel anxious in comparison to her put-together younger sister and resents the close bond between Nadine and their mother.

Depressed, Aura begins to spend time with Jed, who is couchsurfing as his agent tries to land him a TV development deal, and flirts with Keith (David Call), a junior chef at the restaurant.

Jed and Aura ultimately neglect to take care of the apartment while drinking most of Siri's wine and eating frozen dinners.

Aura becomes upset, ostensibly by the number of drunk high schoolers at the party, and calls Charlotte to help deal with the situation.

The site's critical consensus reads, "Agonizingly funny, Tiny Furniture marks an observant study of a failure to launch and an auspicious debut for writer-director Lena Dunham.

Written and directed by newcomer Lena Dunham, who also plays the lead role, this technically polished indie often feels like a semi-autographical effort by a filmmaker trying to work out issues in her art that she’s still confronting in life.
