Kidnapped at age 4 by a stranger (Jason Isaacs), a woman (Saoirse Ronan) reunites with her family and tries to adjust to normality after spending 17 years in captivity.

David Rooney

Hollywood Reporter

Strong performances from Saoirse Ronan and Cynthia Nixon keep Stockholm, Pennsylvania intense and absorbing, but Nicole Beckwith's initial impulse to tell her confinement story as a stage play feels as if it might have been a sounder choice.

With a bit more maturity and confidence in her vision, Beckwith is sure to come up with something that's a knockout all the way through.

Rated: 3/5

Screen International

A well-meaning disappointment, striving to say something about family and motherhood but mishandling the execution.

The Film Stage

A provocative subject deserves a provocative platform. And while Stockholm, Pennsylvania is certainly provocative, it could stand to be a bit smarter.

The director originally conceived of "Stockholm" as a theater piece. Her original instinct may have better served the material.

Sincere but convoluted... The almost-campy plot mechanisms make it hard to take it very seriously.

Rated: C+

Not an easy watch but an interesting one. Ronan is fantastic.

The only good reason to watch this painstakingly slow and boring drama is Saoirse Ronan's impressive performance.

My interest was held only by the focused performance of gifted actress Saoirse Ronan. Suffers from meandering direction of a work that may have played better on the stage.

The only good thing about this film is Saoirse. The other characters are either underused or freaks (like Leanne's "mother" Marcy). Marcy was in fact one of the most annoying characters in any film. Irrational, cruel, unstable and with a really whiney voice. I don't get the point of the film really, the mentally ill one is the mother, not the daughter.

Leia es una chica que a los cuatro años fue secuestrada y de alguna manera arrancada de la sociedad, luego de varios años regresa con sus padres biológicos sin embargo lo que debería ser alegría y felicidad resulta en una incomodidad para la chica, quien ve en sus padres a unos desconocidos y en su secuestrador, aunque ella no lo ve de esa manera, una figura de protección. Un drama que ahonda en las secuelas y la dificultad para las victimas de rehacer lazos sociales pese a los esfuerzos de amigos y familiares. La película tomo para mi un giro inesperado y un final brillante que nos lleva a los espectadores a imaginar lo que puede suceder.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
