    Girl (jeune femme) gets dumped by boyfriend. All alone in Paris. Without money. Desperate. What next?

    Funny, sad, chaotic, true to life. Character study of a young woman (30) who has to learn to take care for herself for the first time in her life, now that she is without a boyfriend, without a job, without an appartment and without family. Sounds depressing enough, but this quirky French portrait of this young woman's struggle is fascinating and vivacious.

    Typical French character comedy,the way the French are good at it. Great acting. Lovely soundtrack. Endearing coming of age story.

    Relief from the daily grind: Jeune femme

    I had much fun watching this film. I loved following the journey of the protagonist, her struggles and her victories. She is certainly original, and as my family concluded watching the beginning; "a little bit mental", haha.

    While this film sports a few plotholes, they are nothing much and while they are possibly something which makes you think after viewing, while watching the film itself you will be too entertained to critique. It is mostly a light-hearted relief from the daily grind and holds a powerful message.

    I was laughing a lot during the film, when I wasn't laughing I was fascinated by the plot unfolding and how well the protagonist handles it.

    As someone queer, I was pleased by the representation this film holds. A lot of casual references done in a non-forced way, it feels just... natural. With that I am very pleased!

    A charming film. I enjoyed watching and might even watch again. Awesome.

    Loneliness in Paris

    There has already been tons of features, small budget and of course forgotten films describing the daily life of more or less young people in Paris. In each of those movies, it's pretty difficult to build a real story or suspense, just a descriptio, the struggle for those people to work, make friends, or simply dating. Features which many people can recognize themselves in. This one makes no exception, it is sometimes a little funny, but never really a comedy. A sort of mix up between drama and comedy. A French speciality. A woman in her early thirties in search of herself...With no real ending at all. The life goes on. Topics already done billions times before, but I like. Only from time to time.

    Should have used a sweeter cat

    Seen at the Viennale 2017: Laetitia Dosch rescued this movie from absolute impassibility. To follow female young women with close-up camera through their daily life is a new trend. I guess, it has something to do with new camera techniques. Because faces of people can tell stories of their own, somebody can make easily a "character study" instead of a well told story with interesting characters. I appreciate that such movies are a psychological help for up-growing young girls (I hope they find their way to pictures like this). But for an adult they are quite boring.

    We all had been there.

    This movie is so warm , reflect alot of emotions . We all have this thing that we depend on so much , that makes us forget what we really are either you submit and go on or you fight and get out of your comfort zone .

    The acting is good . The writing is ok (the pregnant part was unnecessary) .

    Paris is not that dreamy city that we have in mind after all.
