Console best movie i've ever seen.
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Ran expectation is really a trap. you either meet it, exceed it, or get something far lower than it. well, I had expectation on this movie. first, because Saoirse Ronan is one of my favorite actresses. I watched her in "The Lovely Bones" and after that movie, I always see her as someone who's mysterious. second, I watched "Room" before this, and I heard this movie has similar plot with it, so I tried. I liked Room, good enough for me. so I thought maybe this time it'll be even better.but, what a shame. this movie couldn't meet my expectation. nice story, but poor way of presenting it. I was anticipating "something" to happen the entire movie but a few minutes left before it ended, nothing happened. and I was sad because I didn't get whatever it was I was hoping to get.the whole time, it felt like the movie didn't go anywhere. it made me questioning, what was actually the story here? Leia (or Leanne)'s life when she was with Ben? or her recovery? she didn't recover or anything, yet there was also nothing clear about her life when she was with Ben. only a few cuts, but still couldn't depict what actually happened in the "basement". I couldn't even grasp what was happening between her and her biological mom. it was like the movie was actually longer than it is now, but they cut it into cuts for whatever reason it is. not gonna recommend this to people, but I'd give 4 out of 10 for at least captivating me with the fresh story-line.
hyltonstark Great movie. Cynthia Nixon was outstanding as a mother who has become unbalanced since her daughter was kidnapped from a park some 15-20 years ago. Ronan was also very good as the emotionally blank girl who has been rescued and returned to her family. The mother, who lacks insight into her daughter's problems, tries desperately to reinstall the bond between them, but ironically, only reinforces the distance between them. These agonizing attempts at therapy also parallel the professional help that the young girl receives, in the sense that both therapies fail to bring the empathy and insight required to heal. This is a compelling movie. Only watch if you love slow, but powerful, drama.
ru_thaker I just watched this. I thought Cynthia Nixon was sublime. Her acting was truly captivating and engaging, so talented, I would love to see her in more roles so if anyone can suggest I would be grateful. I feel, dare I say (controversially) Sex & the City was beneath her really after watching this and if that is what she is mostly associated with.It would've been nice if more detail was given behind the kidnapping. I appreciate the subtlety in a way however. It seems audiences were lost. It would've been nice if there was more insight into Leah's ordeal/experience.Good film, enjoyed.
johnnyhightest Leanne/Leia (Saoirse Ronan) is a young woman who has had two crimes committed against her: she was stolen from her family, and she was robbed of a soul. She was kidnapped as a young child and confined to a windowless room by a kind but deranged stranger (Jason Isaacs) who raised her on lies and subtle influences to make her believe he was her only hope in life (hence the title "Stockholm" Pennsylvania). For obvious reasons, he intended to limit her understanding of the outside world and subsequently rendered her incapable of handling life beyond his walls.Then it happens that Leia is freed and returned to her biological parents. It should be a happy, joyful reunion; unfortunately, it is anything but.I'm a huge fan of Saoirse Ronan. She thrilled me in Hanna and ripped my guts out in the Lovely Bones. In this movie she has to play it down, as her character is emotionally stunted from captivity and psychically overwhelmed by the real world. She does a wonderful job as the detached escapee, conveying a wide range of emotions just with those big blue eyes and also with her control of subtle facial expressions. Cynthia Nixon is also outstanding as the mother, who not only has to accept her own daughter's alienation of affection but also the horrible reality that Leia cannot accept her new situation. She and her flummoxed husband (David Warshofsky) struggle to rekindle the warmth and congeniality of a familial bond that has never really had a chance to exist, while battling with issues that no parent would ever want to have.Strong praise for writer/director Nikole Beckwith for composing a riveting (if at times deliberately slow-paced) depiction of a true tragedy. Her scenes are at times difficult to endure, but the story is excellent.
