Movie Haiku:Recent college grad returns to cocoon of Mom''''s Manhattan loft rather than test her butterfly wings. Writer/director Lena Dunham plays a version of herself, casting her actual family & friends in key roles. Nicely captures the "no clue what to do next" emotions, but otherwise not enough happens for genuine audience investment in these characters.
