Gitte Nuyens

Gitte Nuyens isn’t exactly a household name, but she’s got some serious credits under her belt if you’re poking around in European cinema. She’s been part of “Small Things Like These” (2024), which, let’s be honest, is one of those films that sneaks up on you—quiet, slow-burning, and all about those little punches to the gut that real life likes to throw at you when you’re least expecting it. The story drifts through a small Irish town around Christmas, and everything’s got this kind of chilly, haunted vibe. Gitte’s work there? Subtle, but it sticks with you. There’s this mood she brings, something you can’t quite shake off when you leave the theater. Flip back a bit and she popped up in “Close” (2022). That one’s another emotion-heavy ride—think coming-of-age but with so much raw nerve, it almost hurts to watch. Her role isn’t front and center, but when she’s on screen, she makes sure you notice. The film itself digs into friendship, heartbreak, and all the messiness in between, and Gitte just blends right into that world. Oh, and if you’re a fan of crime drama from back in the day, you might’ve caught her in “Vermist” (2008). It’s gritty, pulpy, and totally binge-able if you’re into that European noir thing. She’s not splashed all over the poster, but she’s got chops—kind of a chameleon, just sinking right into whatever part she’s tossed. Not a big celebrity, maybe, but if you actually watch the movies, you’ll spot her. She’s the kind of actor who does the work and lets the work speak.
