Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Kirpianuscus a choice. a fight. and the final decision. not the story is impressive but the great science of detail. the story is so simple than only the nuances are the clue. all is clear. and you imagine the answers of each character. and , at first sigh, no surprises. but... . it is so easy to say Marillon Cotillard did a great job. but her impressive virtue is to escape from the screen. the story becomes, scene by scene, so realistic, than it is, step by step, a personal problem of the viewer. and this is the axis/the key/ the source of force and strange, convincing beauty of this drama. to be... alive. and, after the final credits, to say only - it is an admirable work.

Mobithailand This is a peach of a movie.If you like continental European films and have a penchant for a gritty, realistic genre, which brings the dramas of everyday life to the big screen in totally believable and original ways, then this is a film you shouldn't miss.This Belgium offering was directed by the multi-award winning (Cannes) brothers, Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne, and stars the beautiful French actress, Marion Cotillard, who had to learn to speak with a Belgian accent and 'dress down' to make her look more 'ordinary'. Cotillard will never look totally ordinary, but she does a wonderful job of making you believe that she is a struggling young Belgian mother who is recovering from depression and receives some devastating news from her employer.Her workmates had been asked to vote – either for her to be dismissed and still receive their annual bonuses, or to let her continue to work and, as a result, forfeit their bonuses. The film relates the young wife's efforts over a single weekend to try and persuade the staff to change their minds after her boss agrees to hold a new ballot on the Monday morning.It doesn't sound like much, but trust me, it is riveting.I don't know why, but one of the user reviewers has compared this film to Lost in Translation, which I personally think was a boring load of nonsense. The truth is that this film is nothing like 'Lost in Translation'. This is a film full of heart-wrenching emotion, which explores the good, the bad, the selfishness and the generosity of the human spirit as the young mother embarks on a series of one- to-one meetings – sometimes confrontations – with her fellow employees, over a long weekend.Collitard is just superb in the role and is well deserving of the film's single Oscar Nomination for Best Actress. All the supporting actors, representing today's diverse Belgian society, also act their hearts out as working class folk, trying to make ends meet during the recession and desperate to keep hold of their bonuses for one reason or another.It is a truly 21st-century moral dilemma.Needless to say, both the professional and user movie critics are pretty much united in their views that this is a very fine film. Collitard was nominated for Best Actress Oscar for her wonderful portrayal in this film; but of course, as usual, it went to one of the Hollywood 'in' set.

meeza It seemed like it took me around two days and one night to complete viewing the import foreign flick "Two Days, One Night". Kidding! Please don't days off with my corny puns, but I found this film to be a bit too monotonous. Acclaimed actress Marion Cotillard stars as Sandra, a young Belgium mother who is caught up in a labor pickle. She gets news that there is a grand possibility that she will be laid off from her job, because her supervisor proposed a bonus to his employees; but for them to get their bonus, Sandra must be laid off. So it's all up to a vote for the employees, it's either "Bonus Siera" or "Axing Sandra". Sandra, fully committed to keep her job, confronts each of her colleagues and pleads for them to vote for her to keep her job. Writer-Director Jean-Pierre Dardenne overworked this process of Sandra confronting her colleagues to vote for her way too much; it did not need the overtime. Nevertheless, Cotillard's thespian labor effort was very commendable, but I do not think it warranted the Best Actress Oscar nomination it received. So I did like Marion's work, but I would vote "no" for the Oscar nom bonus as one of the top 5 female performances of 2014. In all, due to Cotillar'd effort here, it wouldn't kill you to check out "Two Days, One Night" on one of these days or one of these nights. *** Average
