This film tells the heart wrenching story of Sandra, a low class women in the working class system. Her life is flipped upside down when she loses her job. With the help of her husband by her side, she has the ability to start a new life for herself. The strength she has to rebuild her life throughout the film is extremely admirable. However, no everything comes so easy. She faces a hard battle with depression and the new twists and turns of her life aren't helping her heal. When her healing turns into more of a drug abuse, she realizes she can't not live this life forever. In the end, her decisions show the same strength she had through the entire film.
The film is directed by Luc Dardenne and Jean-Pierre Dardenne. The film received multiple awards such as Best actress for Marion Cotillard (Sandra), Best forge in language film, and top 10 best films of 2014. The film was nominated for over 20 more awards. Overall, this film is extremely successful.
2 important themes in this film include the act of drug abuse and the act of perseverance. Any person watching this film that has abused drugs can learn a lesson from Sandra. Turning towards the one thing that you think is helping you get through everyday could be the end of you life in a second. Secondly, the act of perseverance. Perseverance through the drug abuse, not being afraid to ask for help (shown in multiple different ways throughout this film).
Overall, I would strongly recommend this film. I believe there are multiple life lessons that can be taught to anyone who lays eyes on this film. I think this film could be beneficial for the younger generation the most.
