Ardently Arlene is a poignant documentary that dives deep into the life of Arlene Murtha. The film captures her reflections during what could be considered the twilight of her years, as she shares vivid stories from her childhood intertwined with the warmth and chaos of her family's Christmas traditions. The pacing is relaxed, allowing viewers to soak in the nostalgia and emotional weight of her narratives. There's a rawness to her performance that feels both intimate and universal. The film's atmosphere, with its home-video aesthetic blended with more polished documentary elements, makes it distinctive.
