“Supremely funny. As heartfelt as it is provocative.”

– Cassie Da Costa, Vanity Fair

“Surprisingly sweet and searching. It’s refreshing to see sex scenes directed with both warmth and a sense of carnality.”

– Stephanie Zacharek, TIME

“This is Dunham at her most liberated in years. [Her] greatest strength as a filmmaker lies in her ability to create achingly real, relatable characters within a heightened comedic framework.”

– Jourdain Searles, The Hollywood Reporter

– Elena Lazic,The Playlist

Synopsis

Sarah Jo (Kristine Froseth) is a sensitive and naive 26-year-old living on the fringes of Hollywood with her disillusioned mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and influencer sister (Taylour Paige).
