Let's be absolutely honest - I am not likely to be typical of the demographic of Tiny Furniture's audience.
Number one: I'm a bloke, number two I am middle-aged and number three I'm not exactly the sensitive arty type.
Lena Dunham's movie, it seems to me, is likely to appeal to 20something women who probably don't get football and real ale (my two passions).
Thus, I was always going to struggle to connect with it.
This despite trying really hard because Stefanie at Independent Film made a special effort to send me a screener because she loved the movie so much.
That said, I do admire what Dunham has done on a very low budget (I've read £50,000).
Basically, she wrote, directed and stars in Tiny Furniture, alonsgide her real-life mum (Laurie Simmons) and sister Grace Dunham.
Lena plays Aura, a 22-year-old who has returned home after graduating with a film theory degree.
She is jobless and boyfriend-less after breaking up with her longtime beau.
Thus, she tries to find herself by renewing friendship with her bonkers best mate, taking a job as receptionist at a restaurant and taking in an unfunny comedian while her mother and sister are away.
Basically, she demonstrated all of the worst traits of the combination of my two children.
She mopes around, constantly saying that she is trying to work things out, meanwhile, I wanted to scream at the screen that she should pull herself together.
In other words, I felt just like her exasperated mother (her dad is not on the scene).
Young women will probably say the Tiny Furniture is very well observed. I can only think that is possible because Miss W, when at her most infuriating (which is seldom) has almost used the same script, although never so rudely.
What I could recognise was the spirited acting of all of the women in the piece.
I despaired at how hapless the men are but I guess I was meant to.
The unfunny comedian (Alex Karpovsky) is the most irritating man on the planet and the love interest (David Call) is feckless.
Certaibly lena Dunham has great promise and her script is witty without causing me to belly laugh but, as said, I'm not her market.
Laughs: none for me but I suspect a fair few for young women.
Jumps: none
Vomit: none
Nudity: very brief long-distance scene
Overall rating: 5.5/10
