Drama Paula is back to Paris but she is broke and finds all the doors closed. Far from being nostalgic, she drowns in Parisian life.

	Media	Author	Review
		David Parkinson Empire	"Thrillingly capturing both time and place and fizzing with non-judgemental empathy and cinematic flair, this is a magnificent debut (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mark Kermode The Guardian	"Laetitia Dosch dazzles (...) A superbly sympathetic and spikily comedic portrait (...) This is a refreshingly invigorating and unvarnished character study (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kevin Maher The Times	"The French director Léonor Serraille delivers two mesmerising portraits for the price of one [Paris and the protagonist] (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Serraille and the always very intense Dosch construct their character in a fascinating way, having her oscillate between buoyant and bouncy and then anxious and agitated, though clearly always with the best of intentions."
		Nikola Grozdanovic The Playlist	"Full of spark and wit (...) [It] is a roaring triumph (...) due to its raw tenacity, sizzling humor and Dosch’s tour-de-force performance"
		Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"A fearless, powerhouse performance by Laetitia Dosch infuses every frame (...) [It] is full of snap and surprises as energetic scatterbrain Paula ricochets from situation to situation after getting dumped by a lover"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"[A] well-observed debut (...) Her sharp attention to the detail distinguishes 'Jeune femme' from so many first-time indie features"
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"It has a restless energy which reflects the temperament of its troubled heroine (...) 'Jeune Femme' continually surprises us (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
