Media reviews

PRAISE FOR LENA DUNHAM: 

   • "[Girls is] like nothing else on TV... a bold defense (and a searing critique) of the so-called Millennial Generation by a person still in her twenties." --Emily Nussbaum, New York Magazine 

   • "Irreverent, funny, and hard edged." --Alessandra Stanley, The New York Times 

   • "Utterly singular . . . [Dunham] writes twisty, off-kilter dialogue, with punch lines that cut deep; she spares herself false heroism as she forthrightly yet wryly reveals her pain and her confusion and the inelegant beauty of her refreshingly non-model-like body; and, most of all, she poses the moral dilemmas of the young and talented as they learn to avow their ambition and seek their place in the world." --The New Yorker review of Tiny Furniture
