A deft self-portrait of someone who hasn't reached the point where they can take themselves seriously.

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

Claude Peck, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Sharp observations, thin on entertainment value -- "Mumblecore" at its heart.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

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

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

There's not much to it, but you do sense, after watching it, that this filmmaker might someday make something very good, once she starts looking beyond her own immediate vicinity.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
