‘Stockholm’ is psychological thriller with creepy end BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Lifetime departs its comfort zone with “Stockholm, Pennsylvania” (8 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime, TV-14). Adapted from a stage play and screened at the Sundance Film Festival, the film plunges viewers into the more intimate and agonizing aspects of an abduction and brainwashing drama. Kidnapped when she was 4, 21-year-old Leia (Saoirse Ronan, “Atonement”) is returned to her distraught parents, Marcy and Glen (Cynthia Nixon and David Warshofsky). They’ve maintained her room and much of the house as a virtual shrine. They have no way of understanding their estranged daughter, whose kidnapper, Ben (Jason Isaacs), filled her head with visions of a ruined world and an alternative cult philosophy based on snippets of science-fiction. Even her adopted name is taken from “Star Wars,” a film she never saw. “Stockholm” jettisons all of the plot devices that usually propel such stories toward happy endings. There are no intrepid detectives, SWAT teams or tearful reunions. Hugs are decidedly unwelcome. Even the “Welcome Home” teddy bears piled on the front lawn are consigned to the trash in an early scene. What we’re left with are a lot of painful silences. It takes a full half-hour for “Stockholm” to offer up a flashback to Leia’s captivity. And by then, you’re grateful to get back to the bunker. It takes even longer for Marcy to react to events with any real emotion, and when she does it’s often so affected that it borders on over-the-top. In its first half, “Stockholm” leans on psychological tension, asking us to watch as Marcy becomes Leia’s new captor, as her daughter shows undying allegiance to the only father she can remember. In its last act, it careens toward more standard thriller territory before its creepy, if contrived, conclusion. In playing out “Stockholm” more as an existential drama than a police procedural, the writers ask us to examine how we usually approach horror and dread. We think nothing of spending a few hours with vampires, witches and

The battle to be Selena’s “brain” reaches a denouement as faithful aide Amy (Anna Chlumsky) bristles at her boss’s new reliance on Karen (Lennon Parham), a spineless equivocator incapable of making a single decision. Not to give too much away, but a candidate’s crisis leads to some interesting ad hoc auditions. Look for Hugh Laurie in a memorable guest spot.

SATURDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS

Saoirse Ronan, sitting, stars as Leia and Cynthia Nixon as Marcy in the all-new movie “Stockholm, Pennsylvania” airing at 8 p.m. today on Lifetime. serial killers. But mere moments with Leia and Marcy may leave some viewers shuddering. This notion of emotional reticence as sheer terror reminded me of an old “SCTV” bit where fake kids’ show host Count Floyd (Joe Flaherty) played a parody of Ingmar Bergman’s “Persona” instead of a more traditional monster movie. “Ooh, I got scared, kids!” he assured them. One needn’t go back three decades to see the comic potential of this situation. “Stockholm, Pennsylvania” and Netflix’s recent Tina Fey comedy “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” seem to have climbed out of the same bunker — but with very different attitudes. • While real political campaigns drag on for years, “Veep” (10:30 p.m. Sunday, HBO, TV-MA) unfolds at light-

ning speed. We’re already up to convention season, with now-President Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her staff floundering as always. While traditional views of West Wing politics, like, for instance, “The West Wing,” kept matters elevated and dialogue lofty, the emphasis here is almost always on the petty, the small, the neurotic and the personal. This tightly choreographed absurdist ensemble comedy always has a crowded feel and beehive intensity, with established comics and improvisational actors furiously interacting in nearly every scene. President Meyer surrounds herself with people — most notably, the slavish and sycophantic Gary (Tony Hale) — so as to never be alone with her thoughts. Perhaps to avoid discovering that she doesn’t have any.
