So, 'Standby' is this intriguing documentary that dives deep into life aboard the navy ship Louise-Marie. It captures the essence of a micro-society where a new batch of sailors deals with the everyday tension of being on standby, which is both mundane and intensely charged. The tone feels raw, almost intimate, as we follow four young adults navigating their emotions and responsibilities during a NATO training. The pacing is steady yet tense, allowing you to really feel the weight of each moment. What’s distinctive here is the way it uses real-life experiences, blending practical effects of the ship’s environment with the performances of these sailors. It’s like you’re right there with them, soaking in the atmosphere and challenges they face.
