I have to admit that this is one of those films I put off for years, partly because of it's ultra-realistic aesthetic that I am not a huge fan, but mainly because I thought that it must be just another political film with a forced main female character that will start going full "She-Hulk" mode.
Well, I have finally seen it and it's got no political nonsense and even the ultra-realistic aesthetics of the boring French suburb didn't put me off.
Now, what this film exposed is what intrigued me the most and that is how small the life of the working class is becoming and the power of division.
How decisions can be made with total disregard of any personal implications by people who are completely detached of the effect they have on someone's life, people who should take every aspect in consideration when making a decision because that is their job.
A positive power that the film is showcasing is perception and that, after all, nothing is to much but seen from the wrong angle and having a bunch of other pressures on top can be seen as the end of the world, which is a good lesson and one to remember, that despair is there to pass. Also, we saw in the film many moments how big of an impact simply showing kindness and understanding can have in someone's overall trajectory.
Anyways, "Deux jours, une nuit" is definitely not a waste of time, sure it doesn't have a great deal of weight but it for sure reaches it's proposed realistic potential.
Note: The rattings I give are not on a conventional scale, so, disregard it. I think ratting art on a scale of 1/whatever is stupid and nonsensical.
