CARRIE PILBY- 2017. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Pilby (Powley) is a genius who graduated Harvard at 18. Convinced that the world is populated by oversexed hypocrites, she has a hard time making sense of life as it relates to morality, relationships, sex and leaving her apartment.

Each goal brings Carrie closer to the understanding that humans, like books, can’t be judged by their covers.”
