I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

First season of this show was amazing, I really liked it. It was interesting, it was funny, it was unusual. The characters were good, the plot was intriguing. But then it ended and I started watching the second season. I wish I wasn't.
Let me start with the fact the all main characters in this show (all of those "girls") are assholes. They are just bad people, most of them at least. They don't seem to care about other people. They are a-holes to each other as well half of the time.Hannah is the worst. She is the most self-centered character ever. She doesn't care about anyone but herself. Sometimes she tries to seem like a human being, but usually she just fucks everything up and the show expects us to be compassionate to her. I just don't understand this, does this show want me to become an asshole as well? Is this the point, the idea of the series -- be an asshole to others, don't give a damn about your friends or boyfriends? It's not like Hannah's character evolves, becomes better -- she is a bitch throughout the whole show.And why is every guy obsessed with Hannah? She is not the most attractive girl out there, she is boring, she is unfunny, nothing about her is so magnetic that every man around her should be willing to make out with her. In first season there were 2 guys (attractive, athletic guys) who had sex with her -- okay, I'm fine with that.In second season there's like what, five more of them? Every guy she sees becomes obsessed with Hannah, everyone thinks she's the best, why?? Note that all of them are athletic, handsome men, not chubby boys as herself. Is this Lena Dunham's fantasies? I can go on and on explaining why this show is so bad, but I don't want to. This show isn't worth neither your nor my time.Verdict: 1/10. Too bad, too delusional.

Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) is an aspiring writer in New York living off of her parents (Becky Ann Baker, Peter Scolari) until they threaten to cut her off. Her roommate is her college friend Marnie Michaels (Allison Williams). Her flighty lifelong friend Jessa Johansson (Jemima Kirke) returns from roaming the world to stay with her college student cousin Shoshanna Shapiro (Zosia Mamet). The four girls struggle to make their way through the world and female friendships. Adam Sackler (Adam Driver) is Hannah's unstable boyfriend who later dates Jessa. Ray Ploshansky (Alex Karpovsky) is their irritable friend who later manages the coffee shop. Hannah's ex Elijah Krantz (Andrew Rannells) comes out of the closet.This is Lena Dunham's voice. Judd Apatow was drawn to her indie movie and helps produce the show with co-showrunner Jennifer Konner. The starting point is Dunham's peculiar NYC sensibilities. Her chubby nudity got the headlines but it's her defiant, troubled, self-obsessed, striving personality that is the heart of this show. It can be quite jarring with its humorous, depressing, and poignant jaunts. It's billed as a new revised Sex and the City but it's almost the polar opposite in many respects. It is far from glamorous but it's not complete reality either. Minorities have minor roles. It's highly questionable why some of the girls stay friends. Some are best described as frienemies. In fact, there is a big bathroom scene in the last season that deals with that issue. It's a rocky road but it stayed on it for the duration.

My first encounter with HBO 'Girls' series was not a lucky one. It was only a few years ago, seems much longer, tough, but I saw it in a completely different way than today. To be honest, it did not convince me in any way. I thought it was pretentious, exaggerated and full of really nasty people with unbelievably ridiculous sexual habits. I gave up watching it somewhere in the middle of the second season and I had absolutely no intention to come back. A few years later, I found myself surfing the net to find information about Adam Driver and had no other choice but to watch the series again. To my surprise, it was a totally different experience. First of all, although I still didn't like any of the main characters and consider them self-centered and irritatingly childish, I started to understand them better. I could see my old fears in Shoshanna, recognize my old friend in Jessa and sympathize with Hannah's dream to express herself and her peers. And I kind of found myself falling for Adam
No matter, how insane that sounds. Secondly, I could clearly see how well prepared and conducted vision it was. Every piece was a part of previously planned structure, every episode built up a bigger whole. At that point I had to admire Lena Dunham's voice. So, evening after evening I glued myself to screen and watched how girls went from one disastrous decision to another, from one great success to another, from one broken heart to a broken marriage or friendship. They grew older, moved on from failures and seemingly matured but in the end were exactly as at the beginning. Just like in a real life. We pretend that our experiences change us, that we learn from our mistakes, we pretend we want to make the right decisions but deep inside we are always the way we were at the start of our journey. Maybe only a bit sadder and bitter with no illusions. Unfortunately, I cannot agree with the ending. I see it as a shortcut, an easy escape from reality, nice transfer into adulthood. There is no such thing. Nothing about being an adult is easy, there are no final endings, no final goodbyes to old friends or old lovers. Being parents, being adults does not give answers, does not give us wisdom or closure. We always stay the way we are. Young or old, girls or women. And that part I missed in the show.

I loved the first 3 seasons but the shows kept getting worse and worse. The finale had to be the worst series finale I ever saw. I won't say more since I don't want to spoil it for the people who are about to waste their time watching it. What I will say is there was no closure for me. Will there be a movie like Sex and the City? I won't waste my time or money. I don't care what happens to these characters anymore.
