After graduating, Aura (Lena Dunham) finds herself back home living with her mother and sister.

Though Orson Welles apparently had a long list of filmmakers whose work he detested, he chose to keep it to himself. He even instructed Peter Bogdanovich to omit a protracted rant on the subject from their interview book This Is Orson Welles. The lone filmmaker not protected by Welles' delicacy of feeling, was Michelangelo Antonioni. Film history is filled with many such divisive filmmakers. In recent years there's been Kevin Smith, Wes Anderson and Tyler Perry. The latest addition to this proud tradition is Lena Dunham. When it was announced that Tiny Furniture was going to get a Criterion release, the film-snob community nearly went into anaphylaxis over her age, gender, race, appearance and class. As if any of that precludes one's ability to make a good film! Don't like her movie? Make a better one! You obviously have a lot of time on your hands.
