Review of Two Days, One Night (2014) by Lasttimeisaw — 05 Feb 2015
Against their usual star-eschewing policy (although Cécile De France in THE KID WITH A BIKE 2011, 8/10, is quite a bankable name, or at least in her motherland Belgium), Dardenne brothers has embraced one of the most internationally acclaimed and stylish francophone film star presently, Marion Cotillard, to their latest work, strips out all her outer glamour to Sandra, a working class cosmetics-free mother of two children, who has just recovered from a spell of depression, and has to fight for her job through a thorny vote imposed on her other 16 co-workers by their capitalistic superior, they can either vote for a 1000 euro bonus each person or keeping Sandra in the company.
After a rigged vote, 13 to 3 for the bonus, Sandra and her friend Juliette (Salée) manage to a re-vote on Monday, so Sandra has a weekend to visit her colleges one by one, tries to change their mind and fix her future.
