Stockholm

This is a good film, but I would caution the viewer not to have high expectations. With no expectations, there's a chance you may walk away with an enjoyable experience. There is really nothing spectacular about this film except the fact that as the story progresses, one grows to loath a character who initially comes across as likable. The dialogue is borderline excessive imo, but a curiosity compels one to stick with it.

I think the reviews for this film would have probably been a higher if the story line followed a less typical format. I guess in actuality, there is no such thing as an original script or story. All patterns have been followed at one point in time or another. This was true almost 30 years ago in Fatal Attraction with Glenn Close and Micheal Douglas, but the writing, direction, and acting still brought a good enough twist to keep one glued to screen and for the film to win awards. I guess the counterargument here would be budget and star power, which is why I'm have not given the film a rating 6.

that is its huge virtue - the fresh air. the music, the images, the dialog. as bricks/crumbs/pillars of it.that detail does it great. because it is piece from a tradition, precise and poetic, cruel and sadness, a Rubik cube and perfect gem.nothing original, at first sigh. a war who reminds Bergman movies.but... the dialog seems be mathematical calculated. the music is the wise choice. the two actors - the best opportunity for discover the smart, nuanced performance. it is beautiful and, in same measure, high useful. a film for remember and discover. fascinating for its minimalism. and for the sides of same case. must see it ! maybe,as a kind of refuge out of blockbusters waves.

Both of the leads are annoying as all hell. Would you want to spend any time with them? 88 minutes was more than enough and therein lies the problem. It's really a short film extended. It's repetitious beyond belief.

It's probably a good example for young women not to be fooled by guys like this because they're out there and give the majority of guys who are decent, a bad name. Perhaps the moral of the story is that we all need to take responsibility for our actions. In this case, both the participants. Pity there's nothing to like about either of them.

The idea is there but there's not enough to make a feature out of it.

Great movie. A lovely story with romantic and dramatic colors, you will travel through modern Madrid night dark streets, in a mixture of dialogues and silent moments that will make you laugh and think, think about this modern society, this modern youth, and modern moral, the romantic relationships, sincerity, lies and our responsibility regarding our acts. The script is beautiful, it will give you at first a harmony feeling and comfort, to take you then into a disturbing atmosphere and a clumsy and emotional violence state. You'll see a strong psychological struggle between the characters, as they go switching their moods and hidden intentions and thoughts. Stockholm is a bit disturbing regarding the truth that is telling, and because of both charming characters, very real and complex inside their own ways of walking through life.

Do not be mislead by the title, the plot's action takes place in Madrid. The story is centered on a young man and a girl that meet at a party, and is very credible and well transmitted to the audience.

The man is a Latin charmer, the girl is a beautiful, simple, shy one. Do not think it will bore you, because unexpected things can and will happen.

I've seen the film in a festival, and it sure left me thinking about it for hours. I rate it with 8 because it is not a very complex/life changing story, it is a simple story that is well told.

For a well made, convincing story and great cinematography I place the film director in the same class as Almodovar and other great Spanish directors.
