Two Days, One Night and Something, Anything: Movies With More Than a Comma in Common

Two Days, One Night and Something, Anything: Movies With More Than a Comma in Common April 28, 2015

But give these movies a chance. I saw all of the Oscar hopefuls, and none of them have stayed with me as powerfully as these unpredictable, suspenseful, and richly rewarding films. Their central characters—Peggy and Sandra—might challenge you, as they challenged me, to consider how you would handle ethical challenges like those that they face in these films.
