.lenadunham's new film SharpStick is an attempt to end the “inborn judgment and shame around female desire.'
says. A new trailer for the film shows the sexual awakening of Sarah Jo , as she embarks on an affair with her married boss Josh .
Per the trailer, when Josh ends the affair and goes back to his pregnant wife , Sarah Jo throws herself into a world of hookups and sexual exploration aided in part by the internet. Withplaying Sarah Jo’s sister and Jennifer Jason Leigh starring as her five-time divorcée mother, the film is filled with strong characters that early reviews praise for their comedic performances.
“It’s a joke as old as celluloid that the minute we spot a sexually active girl in a horror movie, we know she’s going to die in a blood death,” Dunham said in a statement on the film. “She’s let someone touch her below the neck, and so she’s marked for murder. But there’s a more subtle crime we commit toward women on camera, where female characters who dare to take a journey sexually may not get full-on murdered, but they do endure another kind of torture — one more exquisite and subtle.
Dunham continued, “It’s a torture of judgment, of questioning, of self-doubt and loneliness and regret over choices that should ultimately just be part of the fabric of self-actualization in that same way it can be for their male counterparts. Interrogating these cinematic iniquities, I began to imagine a character whose sexual journey would be totally unique, unmarred by shame or self-hate or the projections of others.
