WARNING: THIS IS A NSFW TRAILER. Lena Dunham is reframing the narrative of female sexuality. The actress’s next directorial feature is “Sharp Stick”, a film about the sexual awakening of caregiver Sarah Jo, played by Kristine Froseth.
Sarah Jo begins a relationship with her married boss, played by Jon Bernthal. When he dumps her unceremoniously after his wife discovers the affair, Sarah Jo begins a journey of sexual exploration and healing in this hilarious yet empowering comedy.
Dunham, who also penned the script for the film, wanted to reinvent the story of female desire and destigmatize it.
