The Lifetime movie is getting an upgrade. Not that the plot has changed much. Tonight’s “Stockholm, Pennsylvania” (Lifetime, 8 p.m.) concerns a girl kidnapped at 4 who is finally freed 17 years later.

The thing premiered at Sundance, which is a first for Lifetime fare as well.

Then the online critics are invited back to see if they will change their minds.
