Review of Stockholm

Stockholm (I) (2013)
8/10
Syndrom or none

This is quite the tough movie ... for multiple reasons. Because while it may seem like a romantic (drama) on the surface, it is so much more. And that is because while especially at first it does appear to just go in one direction and you may not entirely believe in what the characters are doing (or not), it does take you someplace else entirely towards the end ... literally.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Almost as ahead of myself as the main male character here - who seems really fixated on that one woman. Could it be he fell in love with her? And what would that mean for or to her? Those things are not always mutual ... but there is not much time to think, because things happen ... and then they don't. And then things are being said ... well I won't say what, but again you have to cut the movie some slack. Suspend your disbelief as they say.

Because this is not just giving us certain perspectives from either gender side (male or female in this case), but also seems to fast forward or at least go to many relationship stages too. Not saying you'll love the movie for doing so ... and I am not sure "love" is something that after watching the movie will be on your mind.

All that aside, this is quite the low budget inspired movie, that will live and die with how much you buy into the main characters and their respective dilemmas ... not all clear from the start ... or maybe they are? You be the judge, no pun intended.
