Angélique, a 60-year-old bar hostess, spends her nights partying and lusting after men in a cabaret on the French-German border. As time goes by, clients become rare, but Michel, a regular, wants to marry her. Will Angélique continue her free-wheeling lifestyle? Or will she settle down with the man who loves her?

What are critics saying?
There is a very quiet, natural quality to even the most dramatic of scenes.
Though never entirely the sum of its parts, Party Girl delivers a gentle, somber portrait of the aging process that's consistently believable precisely because not much happens.
It’s a heartfelt and undoubtedly well-meaning film, attempting a character study of a woman of an age and lifestyle that makes her an unusual and therefore unusually worthy subject. But Angelique’s overriding characteristic is that she is incapable of fundamental change which makes her at best a frustrating protagonist for this drama.
Party Girl may tread familiar ground but Theis-Litzemburger is utterly convincing as the self-absorbed, beguilingly unaware lead.
The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer
The material doesn’t always feel fresh enough, despite the unique setting and cast of true-to-life characters.
