Remy & Arletta

This is SO MUCH more relatable than i want to admit! The emotions in this film feel raw and real, some subplots feel unresolved, like what happens with the mom, but there's something undeniable about it. The friendship between Remy and Arletta feels undeniably authentic, their chemistry on-screen palpable. Set against the tumultuous landscape of adolescence, it does well at capturing the essence of growing pains and the importance of friendship in navigating life's challenges. It's messy and imperfect, but so is growing up. I hope this cast works together again, i think they all did a great job.

Even though the main duo is stealin' the show, the whole dang cast is killin' it! Every character feels like they belong in this world. The chemistry between the actors-it's off the charts! You can tell these folks actually like each other, which makes their on-screen relationships feel even more real. I mean, who needs fancy special effects when you've got actors who can make you believe they're livin' and breathin' these characters? So yeah, if you're lookin' for a movie with a killer cast that'll make you laugh, cry, and maybe even question life itself, 'Remy & Arletta' is where it's at. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

I am a big fan of the filmmaking duo, Micaela Wittman and Arthur de Larroche. I loved their last movie, Clairevoyant, a comedy mockumentary, very different from Remy & Arletta. This movie is a coming of age drama about two teen girls and their budding relationship, alongside Remy's turbulent family life. Her mom is abusive and an alcoholic/drug addict. It's not an upbeat story, but it's very well acted and entertaining. It kind of feels like a memory of what it's like to be that age and have your best friend be your whole entire world. If you like independent films, or dramas, or relatable true to life stories, definitely give Remy & Arletta a watch. Micaela and Arthur have a big future ahead of them.

Immersive and evocative, the soundtrack of 'Remy & Arletta' stands as a testament to the film's emotional depth and narrative power. From the opening notes to the final crescendo, every song is meticulously chosen to enhance the viewer's experience and deepen their connection to the story. The music, composed by Wilhelm, serves as an integral part of the film's storytelling, seamlessly weaving in and out of scenes to underscore the characters' emotions and propel the plot forward. Each track is a perfect complement to the on-screen action, whether it's a tender moment between Remy and Arletta or a heart-pounding climax that leaves viewers on the edge of their seats.

Remy, played with raw vulnerability by Micaela Wittman, is a Jehovah's Witness grappling with the weight of familial expectations and the desire for personal freedom.

Her portrayal is hauntingly authentic, capturing the internal conflict and external pressures she faces with poignant sincerity.

Opposite her is Arletta, portrayed with equal parts charm and depth by Riley Quinn Scott,, a young woman from a privileged background masking her own insecurities beneath a facade of confidence. The dynamic between the two leads is electric, their chemistry so real as they navigate the complexities of their evolving relationship.

What sets 'Remy & Arletta' apart is its unflinching exploration of the dark undercurrents beneath the surface of teenage life. From Remy's tumultuous home life to Arletta's hidden struggles with her sexuality, the film doesn't shy away from the messy realities of growing up.
