A woman grieving for her dead child is drawn toward the man responsible in "Stockholm East,” the latest in a long line of Scandi dramas that boast strong perfs, elegant tech credits and solid direction, but are ultimately let down by ridiculously implausible storylines. Auds will be required to suspend a lot of disbelief to connect, but hard-working leads Mikael Persbrandt and Iben Hjejle help put the material across, as does debutant helmer Simon Kaijser da Silva’s respectable craftwork. Pic should go west, but may not travel as far as similar Nordic mellers did a few years back.
