Critic Reviews

  • Claude Peck, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    Just when you think "Tiny Furniture" is of the nothing-happens school of indie-filmdom, something more dramatic happens.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    Dunham's version of "Reality Bites," that collision between college expectations and harsh reality, runs out of gas by about the third time she confesses to her increasingly irate mom, "I'm figuring it out."

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    Dunham has a sharp eye for visual composition and a sharp ear, too.

  • Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

    It's one of the loveliest lowest-budget features to come down the pike.

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    Artful, smart, funny, sad and in its own small way dazzling.

    Lena Dunham is a newcomer that should be sought out and watched with intensity. She wrote, directed, and starred in this film, as well as her sister and mother who play...her sister and mother, but not really. Well, actually yes, really. For instance, in this very autobiographical… More

    The reputation of this movie is more interesting than the movie itself. Lena Dunham surely deserves accolades for writing, directing, and starring in her first feature film. She cobbled together her real-life mother and sister to star as Aura's mother and sister - both of whom… More

    Lena Dunham's autobiographical exposé successfully encapsulates the attitude of a generation of cynical literates who perpetually view their glass as half empty. To Dunham's credit, I found myself caring about her characters even though they're shallow and naive and… More
