In 2002, Reilly co-starred as Wendy in the romantic comedy called “L’Auberge Espagnole”, a story about a French student and his European friends who are living in Barcelona. The mid-2000s was quite lucrative for Kelly, as she played in several popular movies such as Laurence Dunmore’s drama “The Libertine” (2004) alongside Johnny Depp, Samantha Morton and John Malkovich., then in 2005 starred as Wendy alongside Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou in the sequel to the “L’auberge espagnole” called “Les poupées russes”.
