Another masterwork from the Dardennes Brothers (The Kid with a Bike, Rosetta) features a career-high performance from Oscar winner Marion Cotillard who was nominated for Best Actress at this year’s Academy Awards. Sandra, recently off work with depression, realizes that her small solar panel factory company can operate with one fewer employee and management tells her she is to be let go. After learning that her co-workers will vote to decide her fate on Monday morning, Sandra races against time over the course of the weekend, to convince each of her fellow employees to sacrifice their much-needed bonuses so she can keep her job. With each encounter, Sandra is brought into a different world with unexpected results in this powerful statement on community solidarity.
