Danish Stars of Oscar-Nominated Film Address Abortion Rights Amid Political Climate

Award-nominated period drama resonates with current reproductive rights debates as stars discuss film's timely themes

The Danish film “The Girl with the Needle” is gaining momentum in this year’s Oscar race, drawing attention to critical issues of reproductive rights and social inequality. Nominated for Best International Feature Film, the period drama offers a powerful exploration of women’s struggles in the early 20th century that resonates strongly with current political debates.

Directed by Magnus Von Horn, the film follows Karoline, a young woman navigating complex social challenges after experiencing a failed abortion. Lead actress Vic Carmen Sonne sees the film as a timely commentary on ongoing reproductive rights battles. “Since Trump’s inauguration, it’s been hard to keep up with political changes,” Sonne said. “The abortion bans in several states are devastating.”

The film’s production in Poland added depth to its narrative, according to veteran actress Trine Dyrholm. “When we shot the film, the abortion restrictions in Poland made the story feel immediately relevant,” she explained. Dyrholm plays Dagmar, the leader of an adoption agency central to the film’s plot.

Beyond reproductive rights, the movie explores broader social issues, including post-war trauma and the treatment of marginalized groups. The story is loosely based on true events, presenting a nuanced look at characters trapped within restrictive social structures.

Dyrholm argues that the film’s complexity is crucial in today’s divided political landscape. “The world is becoming more polarized,” she said. “We need nuance and complexity, and right now, cinema provides that space.”

The film arrives at a significant moment for reproductive rights in Denmark, which recently extended legal abortion access to the 18th week of pregnancy. Sonne’s character represents resistance against social constraints, with the actress passionately stating, “When you take away a marginalized group’s right to choose, you take away their voice and existential freedom.”

Both actresses emphasize the film’s broader message of understanding and compassion. Dyrholm cautions against simplistic good-versus-evil narratives, suggesting that meaningful change requires dialogue and empathy. Sonne adds a poignant observation: “Most people haven’t been told, ‘You are amazing, your voice matters.'”

As “The Girl with the Needle” continues its Oscar campaign, it offers more than entertainment – it provides a critical lens through which to examine ongoing social challenges and the importance of human dignity.
