Stockholm, Pennsylvania

Stockholm, Pennsylvania is a 2015 drama film directed by Nikole Beckwith, as her directorial and film-writing debut.

Leanne Dargon is kidnapped at age 4 by Ben McKay, who confines her to his basement and renames her Leia, isolating her from almost all outside influences.

In events not directly covered in the film, she is discovered and reunited with her parents, Marcy and Glen Dargon, after an absence of 17 years.

As time passes, though, Marcy becomes the unstable one, throwing Glen out of the house, taking abrupt and erratic actions, locking Leia up and controlling her as completely as McKay had.

Rodrigo Perez from IndieWire wrote in his review that "the tone-deaf misjudgment of the film’s second half is catastrophic; a bafflingly ill-advised blunder that Stockholm, Pennsylvania never recovers from".
