In what is already being heralded as one of her greatest performances, Marion Cotillard plays Sandra, whose employment is threatened when, behind her back, upper management offer the workforce a significant bonus if they vote for Sandra to lose her job.
With only a single weekend to spare she must confront each of her co-workers and persuade them to change their decision so she can maintain her livelihood.

Real
Self indulgent? No. Real from a point of view. And she's mad good.

Honest, subtle and intelligent
If I was a cinema scheduler I’d do an Amazing Women in Industrial Relations night: Two Days, One Night + Made in Dagenham. They both cover the same kind of idea but this one looks at the inner, emotional landscape of someone engaged in a horrible struggle with a subtly cruel employer. The film never descends to cheap emotion or simple "goodies and baddies” and there’s no musical soundtrack to tell you what to feel and when, but nevertheless it was extremely moving and at times horribly stressful to watch.

Weak premise
This had a weak narrative premise. The protagonist has to constantly repeat her plight every time she meets a co worker which makes for a tedious and lazy script. Had to watch film in three stages as I started to become bored. Got there eventually but it felt like wading through molasses

insomnia cure
Possibly made as a bet to see who could make the most mundane, boring , grindingly slow, unimaginative movie ever devised. She was great in 'white lies' , an excellent movie, but dont let that that fool you into watching this movie. Instead paint a wall in your bedroom, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch it dry.

Two Days, One Night
Beautifully paced & filmed production. Effective examination of human behaviour as regards self v community. Brilliant individual performances.

Depressing, Self-Indulgent, Poor Plot. No heart.
I'm really having difficulty understanding the rave reviews for this on Rotten Tomatoes.
Repetitive script. One dimensional, depressive characters. A protagonist who is unlikeable and weak. A plot that undermines itself right twice - once with her ease at giving up on her journey (and her husband's casual acceptance of this fact) and a second time when she meets with her boss.
I finished this movie exasperated. What was the point?
Perhaps save some time and watch Starred Up instead?
