So you have got the filmmaking talent of Steven Spielberg but the bank account of that homeless guy down the block who normally forgets to put on pants — large problem, right? Not according to 24-year old filmmaker Lena Dunham, who’s been producing a major stir with her low-budget, critically acclaimed feature Tiny Furniture. Shot for just under the value of a mid-sized car, there’s nothing mid-sized concerning the response that Dunham has been receiving for Tiny Furniture. The film took household the top prize at the South by Southwest Film Festival and has attracted big-name fans like Judd Apatow and Will Ferrell. Not too shabby for a feature that Dunham says she wrote in just 5 measly days, no?
I could not quit laughing at the finish of the film.
The film is about Preeti played by Tanushree Dutta who rents and shares her very own apartment with Neha (Neetu Chandra) – a village girl who becomes a modern day over-obsessive roommate in no time. Rest of story entails how Neha tries to keep Preeti’s boyfriend (played by Rohit Roy) and neighbor away from her as she is insecure that she might loose her.
Tiny Furniture tells the story of a young woman named Aura who returns home to live with her family members following college in an attempt to figure out what to do with her life.
Dunham not merely wrote, directed and starred inside the indie darling, she also filmed most of the scenes in her personal New York apartment. Dunham also made the decision to forgo the traditional casting process and instead filled her cast list with real-life friends, her sister and even her own mother. The outcome is often a funny, heartfelt film that has delighted critics and film festival audiences alike.
There is nothing new in this story and no suspense over unfolding of events throughout the complete movie. Starting initial half is slow with unnecessary boring scenes and there is no construct up to what’s going to occur next. Also loaded with 3 songs which are not watchable.
It’s only following the interval the plot begins to unfold. Everything is predictable and shown that way, which is why this film fails. Not to mention the poor direction and editing of scenes which just isn’t what you are going to associate with talented director Jag Mundhra. But the way all scenes have been shot gives an impression of an amateurish director who’s just enthusiastic about completing the project.
The film is full of cliches, all seen that stuff from other movies.
