Career
Lindholm first received attention for his work as a television writer on the popular Danish political drama TV series Borgen (2010–2022), credited on all 20 episodes of the series' first two seasons, either as an episode writer or storyline contributor. In 2011, Lindholm was awarded a special Bodil Award for having two feature films, Submarino (as co-writer) and R (as director and writer) in competition for that year's Best Danish Film, which the latter movie also won. His hostage drama A Hijacking premiered at the 2012 Venice Film Festival in the Orizzonti section. Lindholm has been a frequent collaborator with film director Thomas Vinterberg, with whom he has written the screenplays for feature films Submarino (2010), The Hunt (2012), and Another Round (2020). Lindholm directed the 2015 drama A War (Danish: Krigen) about a Danish military company in Afghanistan that is captured by the Taliban, and the commander is accused of war crimes. The film was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards. In November 2021, Lindholm struck a first-look deal with global media company Sister, to develop and produce scripted series. The first project, called The Best of Us, is a dramatisation of 9/11 first responders, with Jeremy Strong set to star in it. In 2025, it was announced that Lindholm co-wrote Torpedo, a new Danish crime thriller, along with director Frederik Louis Hviid.
