“Once in a great while a debut feature leaves you blinking in amazement at the bountiful talent. "Tiny Furniture did that for me... (it) teems with deft observations and vivid characters.” - Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
 
“Lena Dunham's knockout feature-film debut Tiny Furniture is proof, against steep odds, that there are no small stories, only small storytellers. The award-winning indie discovery is also fair warning that the 24-year-old Dunham  who also stars in a role modeled so closely on her life that she shot the film in her family's stark, artsy loft in lower Manhattan  is a big talent to be reckoned with, a storyteller of gigantic charm and subtlety, and a filmmaker of exciting feminine originality.”  - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

Lena Dunham got her start making YouTube videos and has emerged as a major talent thanks to the breakthrough success of this exceptionally sharp comedy.  At twenty-four-years-old, the writer-director-actor received the 2010 LA Film Critics Association New Generation Award, an Independent Spirit Award for “Best First Screenplay” and nomination for “Best First Feature,”  two Gotham Award nominations for “Breakthrough Director” and “Best Ensemble Performance.”  In addition,  Tiny Furniture won “Best Narrative Feature” at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival. 
 
Dunham plays Aura, a recent college graduate who returns to New York and moves back in with her mother and sister (played by the filmmaker’s real-life mother and sister). Though Aura is gripped by stasis and confusion about her future, Dunham locates endless sources of refreshing humor in her plight. As painfully confessional as it is amusing, Tiny Furniture is an authentic, incisive portrait of a young woman at a crossroads.
 
Dunham will next be seen starring in the HBO comedy, GIRLS which she created and wrote and serves as executive producer and director for many episodes.  GIRLS takes a comedic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of Brooklyn girls in their 20’s.
