Win Passes to See Marion Cotillard's Oscar Nominated Performance in ' Two Days, One Night'

If timing is everything then we've got it all. This morning Marion Cotillard was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in the film Two Days, One Night. This evening we have 5 admit-two passes to give away to that very same movie! I just need to know one thing, what has been your favorite performance of hers thus far? Send your answer to punchdrunkcritics@gmail.com for your chance to win, we'll be accepting entries until Sunday night at 6PM so get yours in now!

For the first time, the Dardenne Brothers have teamed with a major international star, Academy Award ® winner Marion Cotillard, and the result is another masterwork of humanism. Sandra (Cotillard) has just returned to work after recovering from an illness. Realizing that the company can operate with one less employee, management tells Sandra she is to be let go while the remaining employees will each receive a bonus. Over the course of a weekend, Sandra, often with the help of her loving husband (Fabio Rongione), races against time to convince each of her fellow co-workers to sacrifice their much-needed bonuses in order for her to keep her job. With each encounter, Sandra is brought into a different world with unexpected results while her fate hangs in the balance. The Dardennes have brought an extremely relevant social inquiry and turned it into a powerful statement on community solidarity.

Soundtrack Album On Republic Records

Jim Bennett (Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg) is a risk taker.  Both an English professor and a high-stakes gambler, Bennett bets it all when he borrows from a gangster (Michael Kenneth Williams) and offers his own life as collateral.  Always one step ahead, Bennett pits his creditor against the operator of a gambling ring (Alvin Ing) and leaves his dysfunctional relationship with his wealthy mother (Academy Award®-winner Jessica Lange) in his wake.  He plays both sides, immersing himself in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank (John Goodman), a loan shark with a paternal interest in Bennett’s future.  As his relationship with a student (Brie Larson) deepens, Bennett must take the ultimate risk for a second chance…

We are going to be choosing six winners at random, this is a one-day contest that closes at 4PM today so get your entries in NOW! All you need to do is send your full name and preferred email address to punchdrunkcritics@gmail.com.
