Two Days, One Night (2014)

I knew virtually nothing about Two Days, One Night (French: Deux jours, une nuit) when a couple of years ago I added it on my watch-list. I only knew it had Marion Cotillard and that was enough for me. But I kept putting it off because the French language isn't something I'm always in the mood for (specifically since I hear my mother and grandmother speak French every Saturday). 

The film tells the story of Sandra Bya (Marion Cotillard), a young mother and wife who has been on sick leave for depression and learns that no longer has a job as her co-workers have opted for a large cash bonus in exchange for her dismissal. She only has a weekend, hence the title, to convince the majority of her colleagues to give up the bonus so that she can have her job back.
