This latest from Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, the directing duo known for no-frills social realism of refreshing truthfulness, stars Marion Cotillard as an emotionally unstable woman who runs a gauntlet asking former workmates to buy back her job by forgoing their bonuses. It not only works as a dissertation on the trickling consequences of economic downturn, but what's more important is that it works, bracingly, as a drama.
