| Jemima Kirke |
Jemima Kirke performed effortlessly in the movie “Tiny Furniture” as Charlotte, a twenty something who is both elegantly wise and desperately entitled, always looking for someone to sleep over.
Tiny Furniture is a dark dramedy that won the narrative feature prize at last year’s South by Southwest Film Festival. The movie is about a girl who returns to her artist mother and treadmill-poet sister’s Tribeca loft after graduating from Oberlin.
Tiny Furniture is a dark dramedy that won the narrative feature prize at last year’s South by Southwest Film Festival. The movie is about a girl who returns to her artist mother and treadmill-poet sister’s Tribeca loft after graduating from Oberlin.
The movie was written and directed by its lead actress Lena Dunham which picked up three Independent Spirit Award nominations.
Dunham plays Aura, a recent college grad who has returned home without a clue as to how to proceed with her life. She moves back in with her art-photographer mom (Laurie Simmons, Lena’s real-life mom) and high-schooler sis (Grace Dunham, Lena’s real-life sister) in the family’s Tribeca loft (portrayed by the family’s real-life Tribeca loft).
But Dunham has a painter’s eye for composition (aided by cinematographer Jody Lee Lipes) and a delightfully absurdist sense of humor.
Tiny Furniture is showing now at IFC Center and BAM in New York and screening around the country in December.
“Tiny Furniture” will surely allow Dunham and Jemima Kirke to graduate to bigger things.
