Review of Two Days, One Night (2014) by Ahmedaiman1999 — 17 Jun 2020
This gritty slice of social realism works both as an exploration of human nature --how essentially egoistic it is but also capable of altruism-- and as a character study of a person on the verge of another nervous breakdown while facing a dilemma.
This is also a showcase of Marion Cotillard's undisputed acting prowess. It's great that I share the same birthday date with her :) The Dardenne brothers' use of wide, long shot and handheld camera is simply outstanding.
They further add up to the honest and realistic sense of the film. That said, I couldn't help feeling that there's some kind of familiarity because of how schematic the plot seems to be.
