Chicago Reader

Laetitia Dosch gives a wildly funny performance as the red-headed heroine, Paula, whose audacity knows no bounds.

Is the woman whose adult capabilities are a thin veneer over hysteria a rebellious threat to patriarchal expectations, or a perfect product thereof?

This is a refreshingly invigorating and unvarnished character study, thrumming with anxious life. Bravo!

Rated: 4/5

As it stands, though, Serraille’s film is a missed opportunity...

Jeune Femme is a confidant debut for both director and star with its syncopated approach to narrative gives it a very human spirit to this tale of a 30-something woman in a state of crisis, just hoping she can land on her feet.

Rated: 4/5

It's a story of maturation and self-discovery that's reflective of life itself in all the ups and downs.

What sets this apart is its sense of reality. Her's is the song of the everywoman, full of frailties and with courage tested in the face of life's anxieties and failures. The movie itself is courageous, determined not to sell out to dramatic rescues of the heroine. So that we are given a real and deep character study, more real in art terms than so many formula movies. She's the friend who exasperates because you want her to do a little better and be a little more together, and who you desperately want to succeed and are terrified she won't

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The main characters are very good, the way life goes on in her life is very suggestive, and funny it keeps you up. Nevertheless, the story has many "commonplaces" and it is somehow empty sometimes.

Between 2.5 and 3 stars. It is a well study of a character, but the pity is not much more than that.
