Girls at Arms

About This Movie

Girls at Arms is a quirky Danish comedy that plays with the absurdity of traditional gender roles against the backdrop of military life. The film follows Marianne, who's determined to join the army to uphold a family legacy, despite her brother's reluctance and her boyfriend's discomfort. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing for a nice build-up of camaraderie among the recruits, which gives the whole movie a light-hearted atmosphere. What stands out are the performances—especially from the lead, who brings a mix of determination and innocence that makes you root for her. Practical effects are minimal, but the charm comes from the dialogue and the characters' interactions, creating a distinctive vibe that's a bit offbeat yet relatable.
