THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE Movie Review | Academy Award Nominee

We were both blown away by "The Girl With the Needle," an Academy Award nominee this year for best international feature. The exquisitely beautiful Danish film from director and co-writer Magnus von Horn follows the struggles of a young woman named Karoline (Vic Carmen Sonne), who finds herself homeless, unemployed and pregnant in 1919 Copenhagen. When a kind shopkeeper (an incredible Trine Dyrholm) offers to take her in and find a home for her baby, she thinks her problems are solved -- but not everything is as it seems. This was on Christy's top-10 list for 2024. In theaters now and streaming on Mubi. #thegirlwiththeneedle #academyawards #oscars2025 Review a movie with us at Table for One!
