To me, the magic of this movie lies in its virtually perfect screenwriting. The premise, escalation, main character's final decision, were all masterful. Cotillard is great and believable in it, but the visuals of this film are understated and not the focus. Thank you Criterion Collection for introducing me to this film!

Depression in itself is often shown onscreen to be the symptom of something bigger e.g. grief, anorexia, drug use etc. In reality a large amount of people suffer this debilitating mental illness which has no clear cause, and it's nothing to scoff at. Depression leaves you hollow, self-hating, and drained in more than one way. Read more at http://www.bluefairyblog.com/oscarseries/2015/4/19/two-days-one-night

Aside from it's off-putting title, "Two Days, One Night" is one of the most original films in recent memory. Spanning over the course of only two days, we follow a woman who is about to lose her job, due to budget cuts, but it may have the chance of being saved if her colleages vote her to stay over accepting a bonus. The film is essentially about one woman's right to work, travelling all over to town to convice her colleagues that fair work is more than extra cash. Marion Cotillard really stands out here, deserving every last bit of pairse she is receiving for her role. The script is sharp, the events are believable, and truthfully (personally vendetta's aside), this is a near flawless picture. It will really hit home to those families who have lost things due to not being able to work. "Two Days, One Night" is a simple little film, but also one of the best of 2014. Beautiful!

After missing work due to medical depression and being laid off, a woman confronts each of her colleagues who must give up their bonuses for her to remain employed. This is a solid, though repetitive, film. The situations and conflicts are compelling on the whole, but the film essentially has two scenes that repeat ad nauseum. In one the co-worker says, "Okay, you can have your job," and in the other, the co-worker says, "No, I need my bonus." Variations that involve Sandra proving her worth or even a creepy co-worker saying, "Yeah, I'll give up my bonus ... for a price" would test Sandra's character even further, raising the stakes and infusing more conflict. Marion Cotillard gives a good performance, one that is a lesson in listening while remaining in character. Her eyes are more expressive than her dialogue, and I suspect she can credit her Oscar nomination to her baby browns. Overall, Two Days, One Night is a repetitive story that could have been quite good.
