Summary: the beach
Review: this filmis soooooooo exciting, especially with the actres that i never known before..... VIRGINIE LEDOYEN.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best French films I have ever seen!
Review: This movie is fantastic. I had to watch it for a French class (I am a French major) and was reluctant at first to even bother paying attention. But the movie is very, very unique (filmed in real time except for a jump ahead to two years later) and exceedlingly well-filmed. Virginie is a fabulous actress (and very brave to be filmed in such a manner), and she portrays the problem of wanting to be a single, independent woman and mother in France. Her portrayal is very important to contemporary French society, and she lives up to the task. This movie is honestly one of my top five favorite French movies, and I have seen many!

Summary: Why has Virginie Ledoyen hasn't got any oscar yet ?!!!
Review: Virginie Ledoyen might be one of the most cute actress in our cinema. I invite everybody to follow her (this is what Benoît Jacquot does here)during 90 minutes. This movie is a real event, obviously by its formal choice and - I must insist - by the emotional presence of the french actress. NB : Check out the release of "Jeanne et le garçon formidable" with the same actress, a musical a la Demy, better than Demy. Be patient and just watch "A Single girl".

Summary: A pleasant change of pace from Hollywood.
Review: Watched it. Liked it lots. One or two things about it that I didn't like, so I'll start with them. I'm knocking a point off the 5-star reviews everybody else has been giving it because...it didn't really go anywhere. Don't get me wrong, it's fun viewing throughout. But when the end credits came up I was shouting "Don't end there! I need more information!" Well, maybe not actually shouting. Maybe it's just me, but I thought the ending just fizzled a little. Like it just stopped at an arbitrary moment.

But aside from that, this is a great film. Everything in the other reviews (see above) I just read is true. Virginie Ledoyen is unbearably yummy throughout, and if I was rating purely on her performance I'd give several billion stars out of five. How can I put this...I rarely fear for the well-being of a character, and in this film I did. I believed her. Becoming a big fan...where was I? Oh right, review. Umm...Just get over the fact it's in French and watch the damn thing.
