Synopsis

Our take

This elegant temporal experiment from the great Benoît Jacquot tells an 80-minute story of a young hotel waitress in real time. Jacquot has a gift for distilling a mood, and in A Single Girl, he captures the essence of teen angst with a vitality and ardor reminiscent of the French New Wave.
