10 Films That’ll Help You Embrace Being Single During Cuffing Season

If you’re looking for something quirky, heartfelt, and a little indie, this is the option for you. Starring (and cowritten by) Greta Gerwig, Frances Ha taps into the relatable chaos of taking risks and figuring out who you are — your passions, friendships, ambitions — without a romantic knight in shining armour driving the plot. “It’s messy, funny, and deeply human,” Schwartzberg said. Best of it, “it shows that singlehood can be full of creativity and possibility, no matter how uncertain life feels.”

The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

Behind the film’s unforgettable fashion moments lies a bigger story about standing up for yourself in the early stages of your career. “I’ve worked with many clients who describe gradually making themselves smaller to manage a partner’s discomfort with their success,” Bagatourian said. “And Andy choosing her goals and self-respect when her relationship demands she shrink? Sometimes that’s the best choice (and an inspiring one).”

Frozen (2013)

Historically, “we’ve been so conditioned to see romantic partnership as the ultimate goal in fairy-tale princess movies,” Bagatourian pointed out. “But what I appreciate about Frozen is how it shows that family bonds can be your most important relationships” — and that ultimately, you’re never truly alone when you have supportive siblings by your side.
