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.

an indie to watch

I thought this movie would be predictable but it actually was a raw and fresh slice-of-life story.
This film is very independent, but a well written script and wonderful lead performance by micaela wittman, followed by amy benedict and riley quinn scott carries the film and makes it feel special. The girls have so much chemistry. A relatable cast. Feels like something I haven't seen before, WARNING: some of the abuse scenes can be hard to watch. Reminds me of the movie Carrie when she gets locked in the closet. It gets very intense, but I admire how hard that must've been for the actors.
It's low budget and very indie like I mentioned, but I like that the focus was on the artistry not as much having a fancy camera or equipment. Highly recommend giving it a watch if you feel like crying or being reminded of your youth.
