Tiny FurnitureLena Dunham gets what it is to be a millennial woman. Before she began perfectly portraying early twenties life in Girls, she wrote, directed, and starred in Tiny Furniture, a movie about recent grad Aura’s first months out of college. “I’m in a post-graduate delirium,” Aura says as she moves back in with her successful artist mother and overachieving younger sister. Aura reconnects with childhood friends, gets a job as a hostess (that she ultimately quits, justifying giving up by saying, Post GradFrom her years as Rory Gilmore, to her time on Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Alexis Bledel has been there for us every step of the way (she even made a few thoroughly grown-up appearances on Mad Men). In Post Grad, she plays recent graduate Ryden, a girl who has always had a life plan. Good grades in high school, a college scholarship, and a great GPA in college were all supposed to lead to getting a job at a top publishing company in L.A. As you can imagine, things don’t quite go as planned. The Graduate As millennial women, we may not have much in common with Ben Braddock (a very young Dustin Hoffman), but The Graduate is perhaps the best known movie about a recent college grad. This classic is a good one to have in your film arsenal and what better time to watch than as a recent graduate yourself? While Ben is a young man struggling with an illicit affair in the 1960s, the insecurities and sentiments he expresses about having just graduated still resonate today. At one point Mrs. Robinson asks Ben if he’s upset, and his response perfectly sums up how many of us feel: “I’m just a little worried about my future. I’m a little upset about my future.”Accepted Accepted is a 2006 American comedy film directed by Steve Pink and written by Adam Cooper, Bill Collage and Mark Perez.
