Dave S In Two Days One Night, directors Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne focus their energy on strong characterization, as always, instead of plot and, as always, are wildly successful. When Sandra (Marion Cotillard), off work on extended sick leave due to severe depression, discovers that her co-workers have voted in favor of a large bonus at the expense of her job, she embarks on a weekend long journey to convince them to change their vote. While the story is interesting and the outcome is in question until the very end, what makes the movie so successful is how it taps into the most basic of human emotions, thanks in large part to the remarkable performance from Cotillard, who is as impactful with her facial expressions and body language as she is with her dialogue. The Dardennes have made some truly great films, but this could be their finest achievement to date.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review isla s I found this to be an increasingly tense film. Its not a 'regular drama' as such - its, I suppose, a little understated but I found myself easily feeling sorry for the main character. I can't imagine having to be in her shoes, trying to get colleagues to change their mind in time to re-vote on the issue, with hopes of somehow saving her job. There are some quite good low key French dramas and this is one of them, due to the good performances and dialogue, plus it being relatively thought provoking. If your looking for a fast action packed film then this won't be for you but otherwise its certainly worth a watch.
