Marion Cotillard

With this proletarian drama, the Dardenne brothers made one of their finest in an illustrious career filled with social-realist masterworks. Attuned to the complexities of its rich cast of characters, and led by a never-better Marion Cotillard, Two Days, One Night is as enveloping as cinema gets.

Fashioned from a constellation of dreamy objects, Lucile Hadžihalilović’s hypnotic feature debut builds a state of confinement out of milky-white uniforms and colorful ribbons. Swinging between pleasure and discipline, Innocence evokes both the mysteries of girlhood and the threat that lies beyond.
