    Great to rewatch this (even though it gave me a bit of childhood trauma the first time). Utterly twisted world and a great allegory for the commercialisation of art

    Moody, cool, sexy, and with a dark core message about exploitation, shame and vulnerability

    A fascinating study of how monsters are made, not born.

    Pretty flawless

    The Girl with the Needle

    ★★★★

    The darkest film I’ve watched in a long time.

    It was moody with hugely difficult subject matter and themes but done in a very interesting and artistic way.

    Attended the premiere where there were a few walkouts (mostly women, unsurprisingly), and I’m still a little perplexed about the films message. But it was interestingly acted and shot, with a fantastic score.

    Don’t watch if you can’t deal with needles…
