Sandra (Academy Award®-winner Marion Cotillard) suffers from depression, but plans to return to her factory job after a breakdown. On the Friday before her return she’s told that she is to be made redundant, while her co-workers will receive a bonus. To help her, Sandra’s best friend at work has convinced their boss to hold a vote: save Sandra's job, or keep the bonus. Sandra has two days and one night to convince them.
Critic Reviews:
- " Another beautifully rendered portrait of troubled but hopeful humanity from Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. " – Nicholas Bell (IONCINEMA.com)
- " [It] is a beautifully acted, compelling parable about the viciousness of capitalism, the invidious decisions it forces on ordinary people and the self-interest it engenders. " – Alexa Dalby (Dog and Wolf)
- " This is just the sort of richly layered, individual versus hive mind underdog tale that the likes of Frank Capra and Sidney Lumet used to do so well. " – Daniel Green (CineVue)
