    Selected reviews  Apr 22, 2007
    She hooks up with a seemingly uncomplicated Frenchman (Melvil Poupaud, last seen dying in Franois Ozon's "Time to Leave''), whose main problem is that he lives in Paris. Scenes of her seeking him out in the City of Light are a tad too reminiscent of "Before Sunset'' and the final episodes of "Sex and the City.'' The director's own mother, Gena Rowlands, is seen too briefly as Posey's mom, who nags her in a loving way. -- Ruthe Stein : Drama. Canada and Belgium. 106 minutes. 6 p.m. May 1,...
