Remy & Arletta

Indeed, there are moments in Remy & Arletta that are downright uncomfortable to watch, as the characters, mainly Remy, navigates a world that often feels hostile and unforgiving. But it's precisely this discomfort that makes the film so powerful-it refuses to sugarcoat the harsh realities of growing up in an abusive household. It instead opts for a brutally honest portrayal that demands attention and reflection. And yet, amidst the darkness, there are moments of genuine tenderness and hope. The bond between Remy and Arletta serves as a beacon of light in an otherwise bleak landscape, offering a glimmer of hope in the face of adversity.
