Arlette. Courage is a muscle is a raw and poignant documentary that delves into the world of a young girl caught in the aftermath of conflict. You really feel the weight of the characters' struggles as the Berlin pain specialist grapples with the challenges of treating a patient who doesn’t understand the language or the nuances of her new environment. The film’s pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional gravity to settle, and the atmosphere is heavy with unspoken fears and hope. There’s something quite striking about how it captures the contrast between the sterile hospital setting and the chaos of war, while also drawing attention to the kindness of strangers. It’s a compelling reflection on resilience and the human experience.
