Following its premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, Lifetime has picked up Stockholm, Pennsylvania and will air the dramatic film on May 2, 2015 at 8pm ET/PT. Stockholm, Pennsylvania, which marks the feature film writing and directing debut of Nikole Beckworth, received mixed reviews at Sundance, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it “intense and absorbing” while Variety saying it was “desaturated and airless.”
The cast is led by Saoirse Ronan and Cynthia Nixon and includes Jason Isaacs and David Warshofsky.
The Plot:
Abducted 17 years ago, Leia (Ronan) is miraculously found and returned home to her parents Marcy (Nixon) and Glen Dargon (Warshofsky). Having long forgotten her family, after being raised by her captor Benjamin McKay (Isaacs), Leia finds herself unable to connect to those who love her the most. Instead, she yearns for Ben, the only father figure she’s ever known, and the safety of the basement she called home most of her life. Marcy resorts to desperate measures to forge a relationship with Leia, allowing her marriage to unravel as a byproduct.
With Marcy’s increasingly erratic actions echoing those of Ben, Leia is left questioning what it really means to be loved.
