WILLAMETTE STREET
T
wenty-four-year-old Lena Dunham’s
second feature, Tiny Furniture, is
as confi dent and sure a fi lm as its
subject, Aura (played by Dunham), is a mess
of a girl. In the depths of a post-collegiate
slump — her boyfriend’s moved home to
fi nd himself, or something, and Aura’s not
sure she really cares about what she studied
in school — Aura arrives home at the pristine
Tribeca loft that’s home to her mother, Siri,
a successful artist, and her sister, Nadine,
a studious, precocious pain in the ass. Siri
(Laurie Simmons) blithely tells Aura to look
for things “in the white cabinet,” oblivious to
the fact that the two-story loft has entire walls
of said cabinets; Nadine (Grace Dunham)
refers to Aura’s life as like “the epilogue to
Felicity.”
The loft isn’t exactly a warm and
nurturing environment. But it’s home, and
it’s a home of privilege and comfort, where
Aura’s even more privileged former best
friend, Charlotte (Jemima Kirke), is just
blocks away, languidly doing nothing for
hours at a time. Aura’s New York — a tidy
place where people who don’t have money
are well out of sight (Aura and a friend do
consider, jokingly, what people without
money do with their days) — is full of ways
to do nothing. Aura gets a hostessing job,
not because it’s the right job, but because it’s
nearby and Charlotte tells her about it. She
meets a couple of guys, one a pretentious
YouTube phenom, the other a snotty chef,
neither all that appealing, but both right
there. Aura fi nds comfort and confl ict with
her mother, whose old journals fascinate
Aura: Mom’s life, when she was in her early
20s, looks so interesting. Siri, who views
Aura with a sort of kind impatience, says
she never thinks about her 20s, but Aura,
smack in the middle of hers, can think of
nothing else.
Aura, in short, is lazy and directionless,
spoiled and suffering a particular kind
of malaise: She’s smart, educated and
wealthy, and she has no idea what to do
with herself. But Tiny Furniture doesn’t
wallow in this, even as Aura does. Dunham
wrote her script in a week, shot her fi lm in
her family’s home and cast her mother and
sister as Aura’s mother and sister. “Starring
in your own movie about a narcissistic girl
is a careful high-wire act of exhibitionism
and self-parody,” the fi lm’s press notes
point out, accurately.
Dunham pulls this off in large part
because she never lets Aura, or herself,
off the hook: There isn’t a shred of vanity
in her performance, or in her willingness
to poke at her character’s self-absorption
without either indulging or mocking it.
You don’t have to like Aura — who is at
times thoroughly, petulantly unlikable —
to recognize that Dunham has perfectly
captured the fl ailing of a young woman
who doesn’t know who she is or who
she wants to be. She’s utterly convincing
as Aura, yet you can’t confl ate the two:
Aura can’t step outside herself or create
something this sharp. Maybe eventually,
but not yet. Satirical and self-aware, Tiny
Furniture hits just the right notes; it doesn’t
ask us to love or hate Aura, and it avoids
a tidy resolution with its strange question
mark of an ending.
