unlabelledView post →I would say The Girl with the Needle is already one of this year's must-see films. A dark, depressing and at times genuinely frightening film with truly beautiful cinematography amongst many other great qualities. 📽️ My ★★★★ review of The Girl with the Needle on Letterboxd boxd.it/8EEGE7 📽️ #Filmsky
unlabelledView post →There’s nothing better than a wintry Sunday spent at the cinema. Today we wish we could invite you to see bleak but brilliant Danish drama The Girl With the Needle, and charming buddy movie A Real Pain. Maybe as a rather odd double bill, in that order. And a hot chocolate between screenings. Lovely.
unlabelledView post →Alright, last one, last one, I promise. And this time, two year-end movie recommendations—especially for awards voters: THE DEVIL’S BATH THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE Two dark & devastating international features that have a lot to say about the hardships women are perennially up against…even today.
unlabelledView post →THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE trailer is here! "Like the unholy offspring of Mike Leigh and David Lynch." The Daily Beast Official Selection: Cannes Film Festival, TIFF Mark your calendars – it opens December 6 at IFC Center from @mubi.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=34MH...
unlabelledView post →My bad ass friend @longstream did a very clever thing and is up for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars! Catch The Girl With The Needle at the cinema if you can. A stunning portrayal of women's lives during WW1 in Copenhagen. The extremes war and societal constructs create.
unlabelledView post →Magnus von Horn’s THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE, Denmark’s Oscars submission, opens today in New York at the IFC Center and in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Royal, expanding to more cities soon. A deeply unsettling movie that you don’t want to miss on the big screen: mubi.com/girlwithneedle

unlabelledView post →Continuing to expand, Magnus von Horn's THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE opens Sunday @grandillusioncinema.org as part of their final month at their current Seattle location. It's the most gorgeous and fittingly feel-bad black-and-white movie to start off 2025 with (yes, even as NOSFERATU is also good) 📽️
unlabelledView post →Working my way through the Oscar noms. I'm at 20/29 narrative features. The Girl with the Needle overtook The Substance as my favorite film of 2024. Watch it if you get a chance!
unlabelledView post →My film faves from 2024 - in no particular order…. Mostly Australian theatrical release and film festival screenings: - The Substance - Green Border - Bird - The Girl with the Needle - Dune: Part 2 - The Wild Robot (ooooft!) - Toxic - Civil War - The Room Next Door - The Zone of Interest
unlabelledView post →Magnus Von Horn’s The Girl with the Needle, a beautiful and devastating film, deeply citational of silent cinema, who cannot be furthered described without spoiling it but is definitely a must-watch. In MUBI
unlabelledView post →THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE is a dark, bleak film ... and that's before the worst serial killer in Danish history shows up, but it earned its Oscar nomination thanks to two very strong lead performances. My review: bit.ly/4j9jy1g
unlabelledView post →🏆 Congratulations to WGGB member and former Film Co-Chair @linelangebek.bsky.social, who co-wrote the screenplay for 'The Girl With The Needle', which has been nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Non-English Language Motion Picture category 👏 🎉
unlabelledView post →My review of The Girl With The Needle (dir. Magnus van Horn) is up here: www.theguardian.com/film/article... (it premiered at Cannes last year and gets its UK release today)
unlabelledView post →Maybe I'll just wait till Friday (when it's out in the UK) and go see THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE 📽️ again. It's really good with a lot to say about the difficulty of being in a body but boy howdy is it bleak movieswetextedabout.com/the-girl-wit...
unlabelledView post →The most genuinely horrific film I saw this year was Magnus von Horn's 'The Girl with the Needle', but I suspect it's going to be marketed as a black-and-white art movie (if it opens in the UK at all). Put it like this: I've rarely been more grateful for a film being in black-and-white!

unlabelledView post →I saw the Danish film The Girl With the Needle last weekend. It's on limited release in the U.S. It's a beautiful but brutal film of maternal horror that really spoke to me. Recommended, with caution -- it's not an uplifting film.

unlabelledView post →#Filmsky Favorite lesser-known film thru the alphabet G the most recent release on my list is a Danish film I think everyone should see once (not sure I can handle another viewing, but it's visually stunning and emotionally devastating) the Girl With The Needle (2024) Director: Magnus von Horn

unlabelledView post →I haven't seen the other nomimees, but for once I actually really believe the Danish film The Girl With The Needle, is a worthy, and very relevant #Oscar contender.
unlabelledView post →The Girl with the Needle has all the elements of great filmmaking- complex characters, an unpredictable storyline, and stunning cinematography (btw, black & white). Nominated for 2025 Academy’s Best Foreign Language Film. I loved this film! youtu.be/6Hc_iFz7Uak?...

unlabelledView post →Yesterday, I saw two good movies yesterday in the most messed-up way possible. See, I didn't check the runtime of Netflix's JOY before I started watching — and I realized I'd need to hit pause so I could leave for a screening of... THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE. A movie I knew nothing about. 🧵
