Melissa Absolutely brutal and unsparing look at life in poverty in post-WWI Denmark and how some people will go to any length to survive. Not for the faint of heart. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Sameir A "The Girl with the Needle" is one of those films that grips you from the start and refuses to let go. The visual style immediately brings to mind the eerie beauty of German Expressionism, setting a tone that's both nostalgic and unsettling. You feel the weight of wartime struggles right away, but the way the story unfolds-it tightens its hold on you, slowly, relentlessly. And then, just when you think you've processed everything, the realization hits: this actually happened. That final shock lingers long after the credits roll, making the film not just memorable, but truly haunting. #KiduMovie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Francisca V An exquisite film. It shows vulnerable and erratic human nature at its finest, both in women and men, against the backdrop of war and its social class. I like that the shock of violence and horror is conveyed almost silently, in contrast to the cries of birth. The ending isn't "happy," as others have mentioned. It's necessary and sheds some light on such a dark world that will continue to be brutal for this girl and this woman. I'm pleasantly surprised that a male director has portrayed this reality so well. I’m native spanish speaker: Una película exquisita. Se aprecia la naturaleza humana vulnerable y errática en su máxima expresión, tanto de mujeres como de hombres, en el contexto de la guerra y su clase social. Me gusta que la conmoción de la violencia y los horrores se transmita casi en silencio, en contraste con los gritos del nacimiento. El final no es "feliz", como otros han mencionado. Es necesario y arroja algo de luz en un mundo tan oscuro que seguirá siendo brutal para esta niña y esta mujer. Me sorprende gratamente que un director hombre haya retratado esta realidad tan bien. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Patrick R 👌👍💜 Every now and then we definitely need to cleanse our eyes from all the 'disposable' trash of pop productions and... take a good dive into true auteur CINEMA. Truly a beautiful auteur film!! If it weren't for the ending, we could easily label it as a Neo-Realist film in full Italian DeSica style... (only the last 2 minutes go against the sense of classic neorealism). Atmospheres dense with sensations, recreated with a perfect collaboration of set design and photography. And very Good Acting, incredibly very good acting! Beautiful Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Audience Member Captivating and suspenseful Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review martyna j "Girl with a Needle" is an incredibly moving and beautifully made film that delights with both an engaging plot and wonderful acting.
