And here's another film which sat in my queue forever - and, for that matter, I think actually, back in the day, arrived as a Netflix DVD before being returned unwatched: Lena Dunham's 2010 film Tiny Furniture. It stars Lena Dunham his mother Laurie Simmons, and her sister Grace Dunham (with the latter two playing, appropriately enough, her mother and sister). It's often compared to an early Woody Allen movie, with the appropriate wink at the audience when one of the characters, Jed (Alex Karpovsky), is continually reading Without Feathers. I liked it a lot, although I wonder if the explosion of praise might have been a bit overdone, and partially related to her writing and directing it at the precocious age of twenty-four. Still, I shouldn't downplay it simply because she never topped it later.
