EXPLAINED: Sharp stick everyone in lena dunham s troublesome film starts out lost stays there - The Real Truth

Sarah Jo (Kristine Froseth) has the emotional and intellectual maturity of someone half her age in “Sharp Stick.” (Utopia)

The greatly talented storyteller Lena Dunham made a triumphant splash in 2010 at the age of 24 as the writer-director-star of the film festival darling “Tiny Furniture,” followed by the wildly successful “Girls.” The groundbreaking series had a six-year run on HBO from 2012-2017 and turned Dunham into a household name who seemed to be involved in one controversy or another every few months through the 2010s.

Dunham continues to be a prolific writer, producer and actor, so it comes as something of a surprise to realize “Sharp Stick” is her first feature film in 12 years.
