A superbly acted film that perfectly captures the spirit of youth and beauty. Filmed in real time often with a hand-held camera, A Single Girl follows 19-year-old Valérie (Ledoyen) as she grapples with a life decision. On her way to a new job as a room-service waitress at a swank hotel, she tells her boyfriend, Rémi (Magimel), that she's pregnant. His sullen reaction causes Valérie to question their relationship, and she tells him she's having the child with or without his support. Her day doesn't get much better at work, as she's sexually assaulted, accused of vomiting in a guest's room and treated with icy suspicion by her co-workers. French New Wave '90s style.
