Fifty Shades of Stockholm Syndrome
So what we have here, is Fifty Shades of Stockholm Syndrome (Google it if you’re unsure what that is, the film will make more sense knowing the definition).

Right off the top, waaaay too slowly paced. I get it, it needed to be a little slow, but not 2 hours (that felt like 3) of slow. Had I watched this film at least 1.25x faster speed, and edited properly, it would have been more enjoyable, and shorter.

The directing was OK, the writing needed tweaking (e.g. the ending was too stale for all that tension that was built up) but the cinematography was on point.

The best part of this film was Teresa Palmer in her role… she aced it. Very convincing and played her emotional roller-coaster well. Max Riemelt was stale and I felt his role should have been cast better or he shouldn’t have been as ‘flat’ as he was. The director needed to direct his role better as he was unconvincing.

The screenplay (combined in part with the score) was the only other positive attribute of this film. The tension was constant, and just when you relaxed, it got built up again.

There were however many plot holes – specifically the amount of defensive weapons available for escaping, such as the heavy pots on the stove, glass from any of the two broken windows that she could have hid pieces and slit his throat while he was sleeping etc… and unnecessary sub-plots (e.g. his dad, the parts when other women touched him and he portrayed a germaphobe).

A few ill-informed reviewers stated it was an independent film, of which it was not. Having production companies left right and center backing it such as: Aquarius Films, DDP Studios, Entertainment One, Film Victoria, Fulcrum Media Finance, Memento Films International, Photoplay Film, Screen Australia, and distributed by Entertainment One, Curzon Artificial Eye, Vertical Entertainment and Netflix… it’s clearly not an independent film. For a B-type film with that type of backing, it needed to be much better in my opinion.

So rating it as a B-type film, it’s a generous 6/10 from me.

Decent and Believable HIghlighted By Good Performances From The Leads
I liked this movie. It’s a decent thriller set in Germany (the part that used to be East Germany) in which a young female tourist from Australia is kidnapped and held hostage by a charming psycopath she meets along the way. It’s got a good atmosphere, and it causes you to wonder how Clare will ever be able to escape from her situation. The performances from both leads (Teresa Palmer and Max Riemelt) were believable. Riemelt especially I thought caught the balance of charmer and psychopath in the character of Andi. I also appreciated that the movie managed to believably portray Clare’s plight without feeling the need to be overly and unnecessarily graphic. One thing I would have appreciated but was lacking was any real development of Andi’s background. What caused him to be the way he was – since the movie makes clear that this isn’t the first time he’s done this to a young female tourist (which also leaves open the question of what happened to the Canadian tourist who was apparently his previous victim.) The ending was also a bit abrupt and to me didn’t close the story well enough. But aside from those quibbles I found this a good movie that held my attention. (8/10)
