It’s not a spoiler to announce that the attractive young woman (Kristine Froseth) taking care of a child ends up having an affair with the father (Jon Bernthal). Their fraught relationship is complicated by his pregnant wife (Lena Dunham, who also wrote and directed). Being that it’s Dunham’s project, you can expect some incisive observations and interesting characters. The script has some missteps, but luckily, the performances are the best thing about it (Bernthal is especially nuanced). This film is a lesser work by Dunham, possessing some of her undeniable perspective and indie production values, but lacking much comic flair or dramatic punch, including the ending. 
(2.5 / 5)
