The life of an uncompromising HR manager named Emilie changes the instant she witnesses the suicide of one of the staff. The investigation of the case becomes a moral test for a woman whose actions, although motivated by her unlimited devotion to work, have caused grief for many an employee. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

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.

Corporate is a well-written and acted “insider” drama about a corporation’s unethical approach to employees that it
wants to get rid of (but cannot fire without cause). Do not look for attractive visual or an atmospheric genre flick. After
all, it’s “only” a high-quality conversational drama.
