‘Too Much’ Review: Lena Dunham’s Languid London Rom-Com

Lena Dunham’s new Netflix rom-com Too Much follows two expats (played by Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe) navigating love and life in London. The film’s got plenty of witty, overthink-y dialogue—classic Dunham—but critics say it feels more like a meandering chat than a gripping story. If you’re into character-driven, talky dramas with a side of existential dread, this might hit the spot. Otherwise, expect something lightweight with a heavy brain.
Editor’s Note: Dunham’s work always sparks debate—some love her sharp, neurotic humor, others find it self-indulgent. This review suggests Too Much falls somewhere in the middle: clever but thin. For fans of her style, it’s worth a look, but it’s not the rom-com escape some might hope for. It’s also a litmus test for whether her brand of intellectual angst still resonates.
