Movies like How to Be Single

“How to Be Single (2016) is a US 2010s romantic-comedy that stages urban singlehood through an ensemble of interlinked vignettes. The film frames its core conflict — desire for connection versus the desire for autonomy — in granular, scene-level terms using an observational lighting-grammar and tight ensemble-structure. Lupani’s verdict: the movie is culturally useful as a sympathetic, mildly satirical portrait of contemporary dating that privileges character texture over doctrinal answers.”
