Corporate

Un drame pour « initiés », bien écrit et bien joué, sur l'approche non éthique d'une entreprise envers les employés dont elle veut se débarrasser (mais sans pouvoir donner de licenciement injustifié). Ne cherchez pas de visuels attrayants ou d'ambiance de genre ici, c'est simplement une conversation de qualité. (10/07/2017)

Chamber drama led by the unsympathetic Céline Sallette in an intentionally unsympathetic role gave me exactly what I expected from it. Therefore, it's a slightly above-average and at the same time predictable film about how corporations easily manipulate their employees and basically have half of their lives firmly in their hands. My screening was a bit better thanks to the presence of the director and writer Lambert Wilson, who is a very funny and humble man. He claimed that corporations carry a mission and explore the inner workings of large organizations and their philosophies. In that, he was right, but the script could have been a bit more shocking and I would have been satisfied. KVIFF 2017 (28/07/2017)

Television level, but thematically very relevant - Silhol is unlucky in that Stephane Brizé dealt with a similar topic much better in The Measure of a Man, and of course Dardenni surpasses him by several levels with Two Days, One Night. Especially at the end, his film is more reminiscent of conscientious research of a subject with an instructive moral climax. But the performance of Céline Sallette and Lambert Wilson gives it the energy it needs. (07/07/2017)
