Thursday 27 February 2025

Cinema

A standout selection from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, The Girl with the Needle is a dark fairy tale about one woman’s search for tenderness and morality in a cruel world.

Both eerie and exquisite, writer-director Magnus von Horn’s latest film tracks young factory worker Karoline as she struggles to survive in post-WWI Copenhagen.

When she ends up unemployed, abandoned and pregnant, the charismatic Dagmar takes her in to help run an underground adoption agency for unwanted children.

The two women form an unexpected bond, until a sudden discovery changes everything.

‘Loosely based on fact, Magnus van Horn’s fictionalised true crime nightmare leaves you with a shiver of pure fear’ The Guardian ★★★★☆
