Shot in Kansas City and set in the actual homes of the amateur cast-members, Stay the Same Never Change tells the story of regular people seeking something more out of life. Their lives bursting at the seems with quiet desire, the young women each aspire to create new lives for themselves, or simply stretch out to grab opportunities that are perpetually just out of reach. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
The provocative pic, often disturbingly absorbing from moment to moment, registers as considerably less than the sum of its parts.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
An alluring and exotic look at the desires of lonely and bored teenage girls caught and carried away by their powerful desires for love and human connection.
-
Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
Shines a light on an artist's prurient, shamelessly exploitative, and attention-grabbing instincts.
