Starring the fantastic Marion Cotillard, this is the story of Sandra, who, having suffered from a nervous breakdown, is due to return to work. In her absense however, the management have proposed to her colleagues that if they agree to a bonus they can make Sandra redundant. So before the final vote she visits all 16 of her colleagues to try and persuade them to reject the offer and allow her to keep her job However, most of them need the cash…
If your a fan of Cotillard then is well worth a watch. Her portrayal of a woman struggling with her own demons, sometimes embarrassed, sometimes determined is fantastic. The reactions she gets from her various colleagues is fascinating and its really interesting to see their reactions.
The acting by some of the actors though was really wooden which lets the film down a bit.
