In 'Two Days, One Night' a factory worker (Marion Cotillard) spends a weekend visiting her sixteen coworkers to persuade them to vote against receiving a sizeable bonus in order that she may save her job.
It is a simple film with Cotillard in nearly every scene, the camera following her from residence to residence as she battles her health, uncertainty and embarrassment in this weekend task. The film feels a little bit padded with some longish dialogue free scenes that don't always advance the plot.
This would be a very slight film except for Ms Cotillard's nicely understated performance and a climactic dilemma that provides a poignant finale.
★★★
