This French drama revolves around a minimumwag­e worker (Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard) trying to save her job by persuading her equally stretched co-workers to give up their bonuses. But the film takes in so much more, from her own self-esteem to the plight of all workers.

This biopic of American singer-songwriter

Hank Williams received a lukewarm reception from critics, although Tom Hiddleston’s (left) performanc­e as the troubled musical hero was generally praised. It suffers from a drifting narrative that lacks the twang of its subject’s best work.
