United Kingdom	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)"	POS
United Kingdom	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)"	POS
United States	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."	POS
United States	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"	POS
United Kingdom	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"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[A] well-observed debut (...) Her sharp attention to the detail distinguishes 'Jeune femme' from so many first-time indie features"	POS
United Kingdom	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)"	POS
