J. Hoberman The New York Review of Books [Two Days, One Night features] Marion Cotillard in what may be the most self-effacing, yet bravura performance of the year. Mar 28, 2017 Full Review Bilge Ebiri Nashville Scene The surface details may be different from some of their previous films, but Two Days, One Night might be the Dardennes' masterpiece. Dec 7, 2015 Full Review Lisa Kennedy Denver Post Consider Marion Cotillard's Oscar-nominated performance in Two Days, One Night a tour de nuance. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 19, 2015 Full Review Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film If one thinks a bit more about it, one would realise the film’s ridiculous premise, and that also means that one would feel much less for Sandra and her troubles. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson With Cotillard commanding the screen and using none of her looks and star power, the Dardennes have created an intentionally minimalistic film that packs a punch without the need for gaudy theatrics. Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages Not every actress could demand attention in such a role, but Cotillard nails it. Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

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 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Jorge D Me ayudó a salir de una depresión. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Dani G Much in the always characteristic style of the Dardennes, this one is a some kind of pessimistic film with a hint that it would be finally something positive, but.... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Colin M (French with subtitles) An employee working at a photoelectric cell factory is anxious to keep her job. Will she succeed? 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Well done; timely for current times; unsure if it has broad appeal despite attempt at being universal in theme Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
