The Soldier is a raw dive into the psyche of a Danish war veteran, Henrik, grappling with the aftermath of his service in Afghanistan. The atmosphere is heavy, almost haunting, as we follow him through his personal battles and failed attempts at healing. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, especially during his journey into the Amazon, where he seeks solace through Ayahuasca. It's not just about the war but what lingers afterward—those invisible wounds. There’s a certain authenticity in Henrik's performance; it feels unpolished yet genuine. The documentary showcases practical effects in how it visually contrasts the chaos of war with the serene but intense experience in the jungle, making it distinctive in its storytelling approach.
