Plot Summary
22-year-old Aura (Dunham) returns home to her artist mother’s TriBeCa loft with the following: a useless film theory degree, 357 hits on her Youtube page, a boyfriend who’s left her to find himself at Burning Man, a dying hamster, and her tail between her legs. Luckily, her trainwreck childhood best friend never left home, the restaurant down the block is hiring, and ill-advised romantic possibilities lurk around every corner. Surrounded on all sides by what she could become, Aura just wants someone to tell her who she is.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The setup is pat, but Dunham's approach is utterly singular.
Fresh: It's a find -- funny and rueful and verbally dexterous, leavening a quippy screenplay with just enough honesty to make it stick.
Fresh: What Dunham lacks in polish, she makes up for in her ability to observe her generation, with the hardest truths coming at her own expense.
Rotten: Dunham definitely has a knack for shaping a comic scene, but Aura is so culturally and financially privileged that her woes begin to seem as trivial as the miniatures her mother uses in her artwork.
Customer Reviews
I almost couldn't finish
This movie is just plain boring... the characters are obnoxious and the story line is pointless. Just not a movie that i could recommend to anyone.
Refreshing
Innovative, introspective film about the difficulties of coping with post graduate life whilst dealing with acceptance and your new place in society. Lovely, refreshing, and heartbreaking simultaneously. Kudos to Lena for writing and starring in this bravely imagined yet brutally honest piece.
Really good!
Has the feel of a Wess Anderson movie. A cool Intellectual family.
