Imtiaz Ali is reason enough for my love of cinema, and that began with this movie. The social commentary in the movie is so layered that the subtlety of it still makes me think long and hard about it. The scene towards the end where Alia Bhatt confronts her demons still manages to run chills down my spine. Bollywood might or might not have successf...
I’m still confused if this movie involves Stockholm Syndrome or it is just a presumptuous commentary on the women of that era who weren’t supposed to have an opinion on who they should marry. What concerns me more about the movie is the dominance of patriarchy, men kidnapping women for them to end up falling for those men is what I’ve been rambling...
It is an uncomfortable watch, not only because it has a very young Doris Mae (Linda Blair) taken hostage by an older man named Leonard (Martin Sheen) who is an escaped mental patient but because of the sheer chemistry they end up sharing. The tendency of Stockholm Syndrome is more a possibility when two individuals are in an environment where there...
Italian director Liliana Cavani plays with human psyche so as to make probably the most expressive film about Stockholm Syndrome, with performances capable of triggering the possibility of the audience developing a psychiatric disorder by just watching it. It is one movie where you can see the process taking place, you can see Charlotte Rampling (L...
Famous for the rom-com it is considered, the emotional graphs in the movie are like a rollercoaster ride. And, despite that, the four kids never fail to make me laugh for Overboard is more a comedic take on both post-amnesia rich brat and Stockholm Syndrome that leads to her choosing a false pretense for her life over reality (because, who doesn’t ...
Polish cinema deserves more audience is matter of fact, and if you wish to begin today, this is the movie you shall begin with. I’d watched it only a few days ago, not knowing that it is going to have Stockholm Syndrome in the plot. I’d watched it because I thought it was appalling enough a subject that a woman is unjustly arrested by secret police...
Forty four years ago, a six-day hostage drama inside a Stockholm bank grabbed worldwide headlines, and the surprising behavior exhibited by the four hostages toward their captors gave birth to the psychological phenomenon known as Stockholm Syndrome. This movie is akin to that incident, it is the nearest any movie I’ve seen that has come to the act...
Robert Redfort in the movie is just another good guy who is stuck in a bad situation, and takes out his angst upon an innocent stranger who is able to see through the madness going on with him, and then falls for him like any other victim of Stockholm Syndrome. It is a conventional take, as I view it. But then again, ‘Three Days of the Condor’ is o...
Here is a movie that I didn’t quite enjoy, but I don’t know many people who’s opinion is similar to mine. Probably because more than anything ‘Phantom of the Opera’ is Literature and people have been indulging in the story for what seems like since the dawn of humanity. It still makes the list because it would have been rather tough to complete it ...
This movie went from assault to a tinge of BDSM in what appears like a nanosecond. Pedro Almodovar is the only human capable of making a victim of Stockholm Syndrome sound more like a comedic anchor to counter what comes with Ricky’s (Antonio Banderas) mental illness. I’ve seen people calling it a ‘twisted’ Romantic Comedy, which a lot of movies wi...

"Stockholm Syndrome is probably the most popular among movie-goers because of abundance of content already available, in terms of the number of movies made around the theme. Unconventional Romance is viewed as a genre, often without understanding human nature in terms of context.
Apr 10, 2019 · April 10, 2019. Ethan Hawke is the best thing about “Stockholm,” but the moment he strides into a bank things begin going haywire. With strained comedy, unearned sobriety and Bob Dylan on the...
