Plot
Sarah Jo is a naive 26-year-old living on the fringes of Hollywood with her mother and sister. When she begins an affair with her older employer, she is thrust into an education on sexuality, loss and power.
Sinekatalog’s take
A naive young woman begins an affair with her older employer and learns hard lessons about desire and power. Dunham's comedy-drama is awkward and candid, but its tone wobbles and its heroine stays frustratingly vague, so reactions will vary.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
