A Single Girl
Virginie Ledoyen
I’ll warn you right up front that this movie is not for everyone. There’s not much plot and nothing major really happens, it is rather, what French films do so well and American films don’t, a slice of life drama.
The action centers around a young woman who just found out she is pregnant, is starting a new job, and is breaking up with her boyfriend all on the same day. A lot of the film takes place in real time as she goes about her new job as a room service waitress at a posh hotel, and chronicles her interactions with her coworkers and the hotel guests, most of whom are insane.
If you like quite and thoughtful films, this is a good one with good performances all around. If, however you are just looking for mindless action, look elsewhere.
Virginie Ledoyen also starred in another fun French film that I would recommend called 8 Women
