Two Days, One Night
A ticking-clock film with a beating heart to match, Two Days, One Night is our kind of thriller. Marion Cotillard plays a factory worker who must persuade her colleagues to surrender their bonuses to save her job. The premise’s simplicity is a measure of its urgency: the Dardenne brothers’ film is a contemporary fable of labour and social life from whose 95 minutes you emerge ballasted and galvanised.
