Writer/director Eric Gravel’s tight, tender account is a pulse-pounder that will leave you thrilled and frazzled in equal measure. Determined to get to the whitecollar job interviews that promise her kids a better life, quickthinking Julie is prepared to beg, wheedle or tell barefaced lies to get out of her hotel-chambermaid shifts and across a gridlocked Paris. Giving a fabulous, thinskinned performance, Calamy shows us Julie as neither saint nor victim, just a believably flawed and resourceful mother.
