Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Best movie ever!

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Deux Jours, Une NuitAn idea that is barely of a daily episode, is projected with such fine details and exquisite writing that one cannot not feel for the characters revolving around it and drown into their world. Deux Jours, Une Nuit is an epitome of an 'out-of-the-box' concept, creativity and its originality that art is supposed to offer the viewers. The writer-director duo, Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne are familiar and of their art and the world they have created which even though is confined within few characters but still explores large part of the space in it. Marion Catillard breeds vulnerability, loss and affliction and pours it onto the screen with independent wings of hope that doesn't and won't need a stage or support from anyone; she is a revelation in this one. Deux Jours, Une Nuit is written with passion, executed and edited by such fine talents and performed and projected by a skilled actor that ups the ante of this feature onto the major league.

Before seeing the French domestic drama "two days, one night" I was only cursorily familiar with Marion Cotillard's work. I am now richly informed.Likewise, little did I know that a movie about a blue collar wife and mother battling to keep her job as a rank and file factory floor worker could be enrapturing entertainment. Guess what? It can.Cotillard is completely credible in this Oscar-nominated performance as Sandra. She strikes nary a false note in a riveting turn as a woman struggling with severe depression as she strives to convince fellow employees to ditch their coveted bonuses so that she may continue to earn a living for her family and not be forced to take government handouts "on the dole". The fact that Cotillard, though a true natural beauty, went without any apparent make up for the bulk of the film only served to enhance the stark urgency and utter desperation inherent in her enormously daunting mission.And there is another aspect of "two days, one night" that especially appealed to me personally. As a big rock music fan, I found it delightful that the Belgian Director tandem of brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne chose to include in their production a pair of scenes which cleverly communicate the inherent spirit and emotion of the genre in very different manners. The pair of classic songs featured from legendary pop and rock icons Petula Clark and Van Morrison instill a sense both of pathos and frivolity into the complex fabric of this chronicle examining the fight for human dignity and destiny.Never one to surrender the specifics as regards an ending, I will simply impart that "two days, one night" arrived at a conclusion that is at once as reasonably realistic as it is distinctly hopeful.Or to put it another way......Success and satisfaction do not always come to us in the forms in which they are pursued.

Marion Cotillard is one of the best french Actress and this movie purely reflect the reason why .Whenever Marion is doing a French Film she is something else , i totally adore her acting Skills Two Days, One Night is a very simple themed drama movie , but it's the masterful work of Marion , Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne , and everyone else related to this project that make this simple themed indie movie a Cinematic Art .I absolutely love the simplicity of this movie .A must watch for all Drama Lover .

My review is going to be full of spoilers so be aware. From the very beginning the director has not tried to give the movie a beginning or an end. The movie through the idea of persuading people for votes portrays the different characters that you would see around you, at work, in college etc. It is never about the the result of the vote but rather about the interactions that Sandra makes with the characters. It is about the inner conflict that the characters go through and the small peek that the story gives Sandra into their lives. For the main character the process was always meant to give her the will to fight. To this end it would have helped if the movie ended without the vote. But I must concede that the end is not predictable. The director has resisted the urge to use emotional props (eg the kids) in the story which is beautiful.See this movie for the beauty of day to day interactions and insights into human nature.
