Nothing happens, but “Tiny Furniture” hits on many Millennial truths
The saga of the Millennial college graduate who moves back home and begins a maddening search for direction — that’s what Lena Dunham sets off to depict in “Tiny Furniture” and she does it in the most Millennial way possible: completely DIY including casting her mother and sister to play — her mother and sister.

Dunham captures the mundanity of post-undergrad life at home, even though her character Aura’s life is a little more unusual; home is a Manhattan loft where mom (Laurie Simmons) is an a photographer/visual artist (she actually is in real life) of solid notoriety. Sister Nadine (Grace Dunham) lives there too, but she’s in the no-pressure zone of high school. There isn’t so much a plot synopsis as a list of friends new and old and other influences who make Aura’s new life as a young adult and dreams of becoming a successful artist complicated and messy.

The authenticity of Dunham’s voice as a writer rings clear. A lot of it is the semi- autobiographical form; it’s impossible for any peers watching (and maybe some a little older) not to relate in some way to Aura’s “struggle.” It might be nice if more stuff happened in the film instead of a whole lot of stuff that could be stuff but doesn’t ever become stuff, but there’s also something refreshing about taking it in as a contemporary portrait of an emerging generation. Also, you could argue that there’s a certain poetic truth to the fact that nothing really happens.

The “action” is how Aura navigates internal and external pressures. Everyone around her, for example, seems to have found a measure of success. Her mother, for one, has been successful forever; she meets a successful-ish YouTube star in Jed (Alex Karpovsky) who’s talking to networks about a TV show and even her sister was recognized nationally for her poetry, which Aura can’t help but demean. Then there’s her oldest childhood friend, Charlotte (Jemima Kirke, Dunham’s actually oldest childhood friend) who sports the couldn’t-care-less attitude that plays in contrast to it all.

Aura’s first foray into the “real world” involves getting a job, since that’s what people are supposed to do, but of course being a daytime closed-hours hostess at a restaurant is a far cry from her aspirations, even though she seems to believe its in her best interest. Throughout the course of the film, Dunham exposes a bit more of Aura’s psychology, namely the complex nature of her relationship to her family and home in the specific and broadest sense.

Done for as low a budget as possible, the actors here are all amateurs but it doesn’t show. Dunham’s strength is obviously her writing, but she’s a sufficient stand in for the average 22-year-old, and as a director, she makes the most of it with some interesting shot framing to bring varying perspectives to the talk-heavy action.

“Tiny Furniture” is a really impressive debut for a fledgling filmmaker, especially one whose talent is writing and simply needed to round up a cast and crew to realize her story into some kind of finished product. It could certainly use a plot, but Dunham is able to effectively touch on the melange of post-college emotions in the 21st century in a way that’s yet to be articulated, and which she effectively continued to expound upon in her HBO series “Girls,” which this movie made possible.

Dunham recognizes the complexity of her generation. There is a self-centered component, there’s a familial dependency, but there’s also a mixed bag of influences and life philosophies that can take hold of the wheel at any moment. We are pitiable and pitiful, lost yet driven, naive and all too aware of how the world works.

Newbie Indie writer/director hits ‘jackpot’ in quest for potential Hollywood gold
How many new screenwriters and directors would like to be in Lena Dunham’s shoes right now? Two years ago she graduated from Oberlin College and then floated around producing her own small-time web shows. She then writes her first screenplay, raises $25K in cash from friends and family, conscripts her mother and sister to act in the film and shoots a good part of it in her parents’ apartment. Before you know it, the film is picked up by IFC and is on ‘On Demand’. Now she’s also got a deal with HBO to write a TV series about struggling college graduates in NYC.

The question remains—does this neophyte deserve the accolades heaped upon her? Dunham’s story is largely autobiographical. She plays a more confused version of herself named Aura with her own mother playing the fictional mother, Siri, an artsy photographer. The film’s title refers to the mother’s use of miniatures during her photography sessions. Also in the mix is Dunham’s real-life sister, Grace, who plays the fictional sister, Nadine.

The film begins with Aura returning from college where she created some artsy videos that made a small splash on campus. Aura’s plan is to move out of her mother’s apartment and in with a roommate from college. She has a cynical, diva-like friend, Charlotte, deliciously played by Jemima Kirke, who encourages her to be more open about her sexuality. Aura befriends Jed, an aimless young man in his 20s, who deludes himself into believing that he’ll be hired by TV executives based on a number of unfunny videos he’s posted on Youtube. Aura invites Jed to stay in the family apartment for a few days while her mother and sister are away. There’s very little conflict in the story until Aura has a fight with her mother about Jed staying as a guest a bit longer. Siri insists that Jed leave and Aura finally capitulates and orders him out of the apartment.

The other part of the plot involves Aura taking a job as a day hostess at a bar/restaurant. There she meets Keith, a sou chef who stands her up on a date. For some reason, Aura finds Keith attractive and eventually they have sex together inside a pipe at a construction site. Suffice it to say, the sex is not a very rewarding experience for Aura who basically goes back home and cries on her mother’s shoulder. What’s more, Aura nixes the idea of moving in with her college chum and will remain under the parental fold until she has things more together.

I also should mention that there’s also a preceding scene where Aura argues with her sister about bringing 25 of her friends to the apartment, some of whom, to Aura’s chagrin, end up thoroughly plastered.

Unfortunately, due to her age, Dunham’s experiences in life are predictably limited. Hence, the subject matter isn’t very compelling. Without an exciting plot, Dunham falls back on creating a caricature of herself as a bit of a sad sack who can’t seem to get it together. On the plus side, the best friend character (Charlotte) and that of the mother, are witty and endearing, which saves the story from descending into full-blown melodrama. The same cannot be said for the two male characters who have little to say or do.

Tiny Furniture is billed as a comedy but Aura’s constant angst concerning her life path undercuts the film’s attempts at humor. According to the film’s producers, when the film was screened in Israel, a group of therapists approached Dunham and asked her if she was okay; suggesting that people outside the United States might view this film more as a tortured coming of age story as opposed to the humorous spectacle Dunham was aiming for.

Aside from the weak screenplay, Tiny Furniture features some excellent performances as well as nifty cinematography and editing. The film has a very professional look and it’s amazing that it was made on such a shoestring budget and in such a short amount of time (I believe it took about 20 days to film). Dunham probably has more potential as a director than screenwriter. I’m hoping she’ll have more to write about in the future than simple autobiographical tales of recent angst-ridden college graduates. Otherwise she may end up like Orson Welles—a wunderkind whose flame burned out much too early.
