Review of Stockholm (2019) by Kaylacarrington — 20 May 2019
Stockholm is about the real life Stockholm, Sweden 1973 bank heist and hostage dilemma from which the famous term “Stockholm Syndrome” was dubbed. Following Lars Nystrom (Ethan Hawke) and his attempt to hold hostages in exchange for his friend’s release from prison, the movie portrays the steady transformation of the relationships between each hostage and captor.
The subtlety of emotions and changes in tone was what made this movie so special and was what helped me to better understand how somebody as strong as Bianca (Noomi Rapace) could succumb to feelings of empathy and possibly even love for her imprisoner.
Because of this, I would highly recommend watching this movie.
