The film is successful due to a handful of things. First is Ledoyen, [who] shows that she is capable of a smart, emotional performance. I also liked the film’s constant keeping with the premise [of] not cutting away for a moment, and keeping it all in real time. Walking, chatting, looking. Everything is on-screen. As many minor moments and details as they are, A Single Girl is a fairly tightly paced film and goes quickly through it’s 90 minutes which is good since more than that might have started to slow up the film. It all wraps up in an enjoyable final sequence, and all-in-all, I found A Single Girl to be an entertaining and well-acted slice-of-life film. — Current Film
