    I would say The Girl with the Needle is already one of this year's must-see films. A dark, depressing and at times genuinely frightening film with truly beautiful cinematography amongst many other great qualities. 📽️ My ★★★★ review of The Girl with the Needle on Letterboxd boxd.it/8EEGE7 📽️ #Filmsky

    There’s nothing better than a wintry Sunday spent at the cinema. Today we wish we could invite you to see bleak but brilliant Danish drama The Girl With the Needle, and charming buddy movie A Real Pain. Maybe as a rather odd double bill, in that order. And a hot chocolate between screenings. Lovely.

And this time, two year-end movie recommendations—especially for awards voters: THE DEVIL’S BATH THE GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE Two dark & devastating international features that have a lot to say about the hardships women are perennially up against…even today.

    The most genuinely horrific film I saw this year was Magnus von Horn's 'The Girl with the Needle', but I suspect it's going to be marketed as a black-and-white art movie (if it opens in the UK at all). Put it like this: I've rarely been more grateful for a film being in black-and-white!
