A quest for self-improvement
Sandra is a young woman who has only one weekend to convince her colleagues they must give up their bonuses in order for her to keep her job — not an easy task in this economy.

I spent most of 2011 trying not to kill myself. I remember quite clearly--it still brings tears to my eyes--one of the crucial moments of uplift that carried me through. My friend David, a man who is the world to me, a brother and a confidant, was driving me to go out to eat (we do this a lot), and it had been a while since we had last done so. And he's just talking, the way he does (which often involves endearingly mangling the English language, but this is neither here nor there, it's just one of my favorite things about him), and he talked about someone saying something stupid. And he said, unbidden, perhaps not even knowing I…

The emotional strain, alienation and indignity of precarious labor vs. the emotional capacity and strength of solidarity. The minute details of each interaction Sandra has with her coworkers and how they formally stack and repeat is harrowing, "It'll be a disaster for me if the majority backs you but for your sake I hope that they do." 😭😭

Yet another masterpiece of a sociological study from the Dardenne brothers/geniuses. If you are a fan of their work, you will LOVE this film! It's one of their best - even better than The Kid with a Bike, right up there with their late 90s stuff like La Promesse and Rosetta. Marion Cotillard delivers her newest powerhouse performance; with Rust and Bone, The Immigrant and now this under her belt, I'm certain that she's one of the greatest international actors out there and I can't wait to see what she does next. The cinematography has that Dardenne pure-grittiness that I'm sure you're used to if you're familiar with the brothers' works - long, close tracking shots and no fancy tricks,…

When Marion Cotillard isn't starring in a Christopher Nolan film, she is busy proving the world why she is one of the best actresses working in the film industry today. And in this Dardenne brothers' latest work, the effortless finesse with which Cotillard commands the screen to deliver yet another career-highlight performance is no short of astonishing.
The story of Two Days, One Night is set in Belgium and concerns Sandra; a young wife & mother of two, who finds out that her co-workers have decided to opt for a significant pay bonus in exchange for her dismissal. Managing to coerce her boss for a secret ballot that will decide her fate with the company, she only has the weekend to…

“When you come out of the grips of depression there is an incredible relief, but not one you feel allowed to celebrate. Instead, the feeling of victory is replaced with anxiety that it will happen again, and with shame and vulnerability when you see how your illness affected your family, your work, everything left untouched while you struggled to survive. We come back to life thinner, paler, weaker… but as survivors. Survivors who don’t get pats on the back from coworkers who congratulate them on making it. Survivors who wake to more work than before because their friends and family are exhausted from helping them fight a battle they may not even understand. I hope to one day see a…

ugh, just another stone cold Dardennes bros masterpiece. WHOOPTY FUCKING DOO.
seriously, if they can make Marion Cotillard great, they are truly *the* masters of the medium. all hail.
also, kudos for finding new ways to get me to marvel at Olivier Gourmet. that can't have been easy.
i'll be back.

this film will always be remembered for the outstanding performance by Marion Cotillard.
-
This is a thriller that is working against the clock.
Marion Cotillard embodies Sandra by using intensity and intimacy. With those weary eyes, dreaded steps, painful sweat, and exhausted voice, she can step into the shoes of this complex character, diving deep into her pain and personal difficulties. Each second that passes by increases your heart rate because all you want to see is her achieve success, yet you can never expect the best with this determined yet constantly worn-out feeling surrounding both her attitude and emotion.

84/100
The Dissolve review. Second viewing, no change, except that this time I was either on the verge of or actually in tears pretty much start to finish.
-
Emotionally wrenching without having the sentimentality of other good-faith but inordinate stories of class struggle that reveals the detrimental effects of capitalism to individuals and to society as a whole.
The Dardenne brothers carefully used an intricate verite-style of filmmaking which follows working-class mother Sandra (Cotillard), who suffers from depression as she takes absence at her job. Her superiors have a realization, using the time to assess their unbearable management that their remaining 16 workers are already sufficient to do the jobs if longer hours of work are to be inaugurated, showcasing the capitalist reasoning that plays out across the global economy every single day.
It’s even more heartbreaking for that one scene, where Sandra is sitted…
-
funny how many people are unable to make their decision before finding out how others have responded. what do we base our beliefs on if we have nothing to compare it to? what happens to our humanity then? the dardennes ask those questions better than anyone else; without judgment but not without responsibility. so often we don’t know what to do when the decision is ours. marion cotillard!!
