  The Girl with the Needle 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Feb 2025

  A friend of mine and I talked about our dissatisfaction of Danish cinema with its current stagnation a year ago. We were perhaps a bit negative and harsh but we felt that Danish films hadn’t done anything significantly different or exciting for years when it comes down to the visuals and the artistic expression shown on screen.

  ★★★★½ Watched 07 Jan 2025

The whole aesthetic of the film and its soundtrack was a great pleasure to experience, and the trans message it conveys is both important and potentially life-changing for some.
