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.

Injecting a dose of neo-noir into melodrama, the Dardenne brothers reinvigorate their signature moral intrigue with a daring detective film. Starring Adèle Haenel in an impressive lead performance, The Unknown Girl is never squeamish about probing French attitudes to race and immigration.
