Thekla reute about her film: lies, love and the shadows of the smartphones
The Dutch actress Thekla Reutten (50) spoke in an interview with Leon Verdonschot for Linda.nl about her latest role in the film “Voor de Meisjes”, which recently premiered.

The film is described as a “acture film”, which reveals complex and unpleasant pages of the characters. Reutten emphasizes the need for actors to work profoundly to understand the behavior of their roles. The long scenes of the film, which are up to ten minutes, are particularly noteworthy, which is rarely found in today's world. Reuten herself admits that it can concentrate well, but notes that her attention is affected by smartphones.
Media criticism and education
Her concern about the effects of smartphones on the development of children leads Reuten to their commitment to a campaign to reduce smartphone use in primary school children. Studies show that group pressure begins in classes in classes in 25 % and that consumption of violent media content has a particularly profound effect on social and emotional development. Medienmest.de emphasizes that…
A central point in the discussion about media content is the importance of media literacy. Children and adolescents should be able to critically question violent representations and to distinguish between fiction and reality. Common exposure to violence in the media can lead to aggressive behavior and increase the risk of behavioral disorders. Reutten calls on talking about media content and promoting non -violent alternatives.
Personal insights and reflections
In the interview, Reuten also reflects on their personal history. She talks about her late father, who was a priest, and the deep questions that she could never ask him. Her brother Thijs is a politician in the European Parliament. These family background help her to draw parallels between the professions of priests, politicians and actors, especially in the art of storytelling. By linking her own story to the topics of her film, she illustrates the complex interpersonal relationships that are addressed in her work.
Overall, “Voor de Meisjes” is not only a film about extreme decisions of a mother, but also a discourse on the importance of honesty, dealing with other media and the responsible education of the coming generations.
