I'm starting to find this art movie conceit of creating characters in exposed situations highly dubious. The scenes here have more to do with the showmanship of genre pictures than with the idea of humanism we stick onto these uncinematic working class dramas.

There is an emotional, financial, and physical desperation to this film that speaks to many working class people. I think the depression angle muddles this message a bit, but doesn't destroy it.

One of the most engaging films of 2014. The performances and the Belgian brothers' signature realistic filming style easily dispell the monotony inherent to the structure of their script. The premise is absurd without being unbelievable, and the ending was inspired. Probably my second-favorite Dardenne film, 'The Son' being my all-time favorite.

dardennes repeat themselves and the movie doesn't do anything except saying that global market capitalism is harmful. and besides it also ascribes a positive quality to those harsh capitalist system by showing it as a process to help marion cotillard to repair her relationship with her husband and get rid of her depression, this is at least a huge contradiction of the directors' attitude towards the subject. it lacks the transcendental quality of their former movies'.

Smh you cannot overdose on Xanax alone. What a waste to eat your entire script and then throw it up. Afterwards she needlessly goes to the hospital for her drug suicide attempt, so no doctor will ever write her another benzo (or opiate) script for the rest of her life. Have fun with SSRI's. I don't consider this a spoiler because it's an ignorant plot point

A character drama of intense realism. Cotillard adds untold depth to Sandra, who in less capable hands would have turned her into a one-note crusader. The premise is simple yet original, although I can see why others would find it contrived in contrast to the naturalistic acting and script surrounding it. The interactions with the various colleagues gets a bit monotonous but maybe that's the point? The ending is perfect.

A simple premise, yet surprisingly interesting and thought-provoking film by Jean-Pierre et Luc. For me this film is all about morality in the face of cold-blooded capitalism. Would you give-up 1000 euros so somebody could keep his/her job? I love contemplating such questions. I wasn't sure about this film right till the ending - it was unpredictable and uplifting without being cheesy - totally won me over.

Pretty close to the Dardenne's best. It might be too schematic, but the narrative's simplicity is what provides the opportunity for slight variations . We basically are treated to the 15 scenes that aren't really different, but gracefully convey the weight of the situation. Like the Child, we're approaching Hallmark territory here, but instead we end up with a "natural" film that covertly synthesizes capitalism's relationship with labor and unemployment.

Call this The Dardennes Social Drama Procedural Guide, as every shot resembles their best and weakest films, with its repetitive dialogues (because life is so painfully cyclical) and shots (Marion behind a wall or a chair, walking to the next co-worker's house, being called back by most of them, crying, taking Xanax). It also feels very political -- people have to lose their bonuses so Marion can keep her job --, but also endorses an optimistic morality -- "just fight. winning doesn't matter".

I typically love the Dardennes, and this film works on paper (the concept, Marion Cotillard as lead, the titular structure), but feels a bit like going-through-the-motions for everyone. I wanted her depression to be felt in more than just performative embodiment. More sensory world, more harsh silences. The mutedness of it all works in theory, but, in the end, the payoff feels unearned. I do enjoy the story mechanics overall, however.

While I sympathize with Sandra‘s plight. She really doesn’t make herself likable, especially when she seems to be addicted to Xanax to the point where I would be iffy about giving up my bonus for someone that can’t seem to function without the drugs and randomly attempting suicide halfway through the weekend.

Sandra işten çıkarsa, maaşlarına ikramiye vereceklerdir. Bu sefer iğneyi işçilere batırıyor. Arkadaş mı önemli yoksa para mı? Filmin sonunda, 1 kapı kapanır. Başka 1 kapı açılır.

From the extremely specific scenario, the Dardenne brothers have created a story with universal significance. Their roving camera follows Cotillard as she talks to her co-workers, most of whom are not angry and clearly not bad people, but most cannot afford to give up their bonus for her. She is supported by her husband, but she frequently despairs at having to ask for so fundamental a favour.

Not a bad film, competently made and well acted by Cotillard. However its premise is too simple to make a 1h30min motion picture of. For me it felt more like what should have been a short film strechted to a feature film. The ending was done well but it also immediately make me feel like I wasted my time. So I would not recommend it.

So real, so believable. I guess it's Dardenne brothers' style, but it really didn't feel like anyone on set was acting. Marion Cotillard felt so believable as she politely was asking her (ex) colleagues to change their vote to let her stay (rather than getting a promotion, which most of them would need). I cried a couple of times, you really don't know how each person would react, and it felt so genuine each time. Brilliant!

The Dardenne brothers are cinema's perennial underachievers; their desire to portray the struggles of the contemporary working class, the industrially weak, in an era of increasing social fragmentation and wealth inequality is admirable, but their films are often simplistic and unambitious and don't even come close to capturing the complexity of modern social-economic reality. The absurd dichotomy at the heart of the premise is proof positive. Cotillard's sincerity saves it from the scrapheap.

Considering how oft-imitated and overly familiar the Dardenne's style has become, I didn't exactly go into this expecting much. But this just shows how easy it is to forget how well it can work when it's done right, as skeptical as I am about the entire notion of "social realism" at this point. Of course Cotillard's performance helps a lot too. It's more than slightly schematic (but then the Dardennes often are), but very good for what it is. My favorite of theirs since L'Enfant.

the film never more than lightly interested me. It all felt very good, but not much more than that. I don't see flaws in Cotillard's performance. Portraying someone so emotionally unstable is difficult as it can easily stray from the sympathetic to the frustrating. If a character's depression or what-have-you is just used for stalling or propelling plot when the script needs it it feels shallow and this doesn't stray in to that at all. a113er, https://redd.it/2rbds2

This movie was short, but it felt like it lasted two days and one night. I'm impressed at how high of a level of boring this movie reached. It was like watching the same scene 9 times in a row with slightly different outcomes. Marion Cotillard plays the part of Sandra, a girl who is battling depression. She is getting let go from her job because their union voted on whether they get a bonus or keep her in her position...

Marion Cotillard is easily one of the greatest actors of our time. Watching her poignant performance throughout the movie was incredible, and she carried what could have been a maudlin movie to a place of powerful resonance with ease. I mean honestly, the first phone call she makes to a co-worker (where she asks them to forfeit their bonus) was so heart-wrenching that we didn't even need to see or hear the other person to experience the wealth of emotion that Cotillard brings to every role.

It is effective in getting us behind Cotillard's Sandra. She seeks out each coworker individually, and although the conversations threaten to become repetitive, you slowly begin to notice the subtle changes in each interaction. Through this, you're able to track Sandra's precarious mental state, which is actually portrayed rather subtly. While that's a nice change-up from the more grandiose depictions of the illness, but it never rang true to me. It was all just a bit too neat for my

It's hard to believe that the Dardenne brothers can keep up such a high quality of filmmaking after all these years, but this film shows once again that they have. They do an excellent job of humanizing each of the workers in the film, subtly peeling away the layers to reveal a struggle more complex, and more vital, than it first appears. Cotillard is at her fragile and understated best here, while the Dardennes willingness to (at times) move beyond the handheld camera only increases the tension

I wonder if the Dardennes & Cotillard studied up on door-to-door sales techniques for this movie & her role, it coincides with the repetitive nature of her plea which is really a kind of sales pitch and then various people just have wildly different reactions to it. The difference is, she's much more ashamed and doesn't want to push the sale. Will not forget the soccer or radio scene any time soon. Avoid if you're a libertarian cretin that believes in job creators & costs rather than people.

If one thing the Dardenne brothers get it right is the real life anxieties and awkwardness of modern day life, retching your heart and guts out through this modern life tale. The complexity of the character's situations leads them to difficult choices, and what the movie asks more than anything is empathy; eventually leading us to a very humanistic truth. It's been said before, that there's really just one story, but given our nature it bears repeating and retelling it over and over.

Two Days, One Night, is a wonderful movie about a woman's journey to ensure that she doesn't lose her job. It feels realistic -- if you can overlook its admittedly unrealistic premise -- it has a great amount of depth that thinking audience members will want to squeeze out of it, and it contains a fantastic performance by Marion Cotillard, who makes you forget she's a movie star by becoming a working-class Belgium woman. It's surprisingly thrilling, too. Two Days, One Night is a great movie.

Yes, it's nice how economic depression helps Marion Cotillard (who is very strong in this) overcome personal depression. But we've seen this film before, again and again, and in much more emotionally forceful and vital incarnations.

The Dardennes are great at wringing serious agony and drama out of almost comically simple premises, and doing so with not only empathy for the characters but a keen eye for social context. The premise perhaps lends itself too much to monotony (the structure of the film is Cotillard visiting several people and proposing the same thing to all of them, with similar results each time), but there's plenty of nuance in the writing and Cotillard's performance is as textured and moving as ever.

And it clearly doesn't want to entertain me. It wants to show monotony life in a monotony way.

Yine bir sistem eleştirisi. Ben orjinal bir eleştiri olarak görmedim bu filmi. Evet sistem bu işte ama yeter bu basit düşüncelerle eleştirmek dedim. Haksızlık mı ettim

"i wish that was me. that bird singing." this kind of exposes BIRD PEOPLE as the silly slice of whimsy it is, huh? fuck the dardennes for doing a movie with a premise this loaded. they kill me enough as it is without constructing the ultimate rollercoaster of will she/won't shes, will they/won't theys. sadistic assholes. if i were to watch this from a distance i think it'd look a little easy and contrived by their standards, but alas this is a dardennes movie and that perspective is unavailable.

This is on a par with the Dardennes' best work. It's amazing how powerful their simple one-camera style of film-making manages to be. Cotillard gives as good a performance as any I've seen this year, bringing me to tears on multiple occasions, particularly in an emotional scene with a young football coach. The directors' real genius is to go beyond mere pathos and deliver a moral tale which makes you feel like you're in the thick of the action yourself. Cinema has never been more verité.

(2nd viewing) 18 years after La Promesse, the Dardenne brothers remain as relevant as ever in exploring the ethical ramifications as a result of social hardship and economic uncertainty. Yet they hardly cover any new ground and Cotillard's plight grows tiresome through repetition despite her emotionally convincing performance.
