I'm still trying to figure this one out.
Stay Reviews and Ratings
-
-
October 25, 2009I think the director try to hard to make look this like a psychological film.
-
October 22, 2009A pretty intense film and really hard to understand, it had me confused all the way through as i never knew what was real and what wasn't!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
October 16, 2009"It's all in my head
All my hopes and my fears
And I lay it all out
For you all to see and it's
All in my head"...
Ewan Mcgregor plays a psychiatrist with a tough case, one of his patients warns him he will take his own life in the next days. The patient is played by Ryan Gosling...( read more) -
October 14, 2009What a thriller! An enjoyable visual experience- photography, cinematography, editing & transitions linking up between scenes, scenery & filming locations, etc. The scene at the strip club with slides projection & the final scene with light waves ("sprawl") at the Brooklyn Bridge...( read more)

October 10, 2009I don't know I liked this or not. It was a good cliffhanger until the end.
But reviewing afterwards too much exaggerated whats/whys it seemed to have without being fully answered. Or it was me just didn't get the meanings... -
-
October 2, 2009Tengo que ser honesta, la primera vez que la vi me quede confundida y no la entendi. Pense que era una de esas peliculas que pasan muchas cosas pero que no significan nada a la final, y me decepcione porque tenia altas expectativas. Pero quede intrigada y supe que tenia que enten...( read more)

August 22, 2009interesting premise...visually beautiful but poorly executed as a whole.
-
August 22, 2009not sure what to make of this movie, made me feel kind of disoriented - I guess watching it while I had insomnia didn't help. Ryan Gosling is all kinds of art boy hot in this though, at least that I know for sure.
-
August 20, 2009superbly filmed, excellent actors, complicated, twisted story that fits all the pieces of the puzzle together in the very last minutes of the film.
-
-
August 8, 2009An efficient psychological thriller, with sometimes beautiful images. Ryan Gosling is stunning in it, much better than Ewan McGregor or Naomi Watts. You're always wondering during the flick who are those people and where the movie wants to lead you. The end is not really as geniu...( read more)
-
July 30, 2009Stay is a film that almost requires at least two viewings. The first will take you on a ride where you will have no idea what's going on until the last fifteen or so minutes. The second viewing will allow you to see how the film's style explains what the last fifteen minutes wi...( read more)

July 21, 2009It's one of my top favourite movies.
It is stunning, really deep and heavy.
I love the plot, and acting is wonderful.
This movie really makes you think of life, death, and of what IS REAL. -
July 18, 2009uh...I'm still confused. I don't see it. I can't figure out if the guy dreamed the whole thing while dying or what the hell went on
-
-
July 12, 2009A pretty confusing, sometimes even nerve-wracking psychological thriller with an excellent cast and very interesting camera work and editing. The story follows a psychologist who is trying to save a new patient, who announces his suicide for the following weekend. As reality, pas...( read more)

June 26, 2009This movie was absolutely amazing. The story, the film, the representation of the disintigration of sanity...it's all tragically gorgeous. And at the end, when you figure it all out, contemplation of the story only makes it that much more wonderful.
-
June 25, 2009very interesting.. i was somewhat confused throughout the film, but at the end it explains it all.. very sad
-
June 16, 2009"You Can't Stay Between the Living and the Dead"
Standing in for a sick colleague, renowned New York psychiatrist Sam Foster is confronted with disturbed art student Henry Letham. Seemingly inspired by his idol, a painter infamous for committing suicide on his 21th bi...( read more) -
June 14, 2009Stay is a bright, ultra-polished implosion of a psyche dressed as a thriller that does not play by the usual genre rules-- Foster's oniric approach may remind you of several other directors' influences (think heavy-handed Lynch peppered with the velvety feel of Wong Kar Wai, in f...( read more)
-
June 13, 2009A psychiatrist is assigned to a suicidal art student when the boy's regular therapist has a breakdown, and finds the case has metaphysical as well as psychological dimensions. Neatly done psychological thriller is well scripted (up until the final revelation) and is likely to im...( read more)

June 1, 2009Eh, so I was looking for a short movie to watch and I had this. I'm now going to give away some spoilers, so don't continue reading if you don't want to spoil it............................................................................................ Ok, so the first 1 or 2 mo...( read more)

May 27, 2009bello bello questo thriller psicologico, bella la storia, bello il modo di indagare, e davvero belli (anche se sembra una boiata) i cambi di scena! fatti bene bene!
-
May 22, 2009I knew Stay was directed by Marc Forster, the man who made Monster's Ball and Quantum of Solace. However, it wouldn't have surprised me to see David Lynch's name somewhere associated witjh this film. Stay is the kind of dreamy, hallucinatory surreal motion picture that takes plea...( read more)

May 13, 2009This movie didn't get much publicity when it was released and I think that a lot of people missed out on a great movie because of that. This movie bends reality and makes you think the entire way through. It follows Henry Letham, played by Ryan Gosling, and Sam Foster, played by ...( read more)
-
April 30, 2009Henry Letham: I burned myself.
Sam Foster: You burned yourself? Why?
Henry Letham: Practicing for Hell. -
-
April 15, 2009Part thriller, part mind-bending absurdity, it will definitely leave you scratching your head. Works best as an intellectual cinematic essay on the veiled subject at hand (and a director-driven art film at that), rather than as a narrative drama. No matter how flawed it may be, i...( read more)

April 15, 2009Stay - You Can't Stay Between the Living and the Dead..
A reality-bending thriller about a psychologist whose suicidal client makes bizarre predictions that, to the psychologist's mounting terror, begin to come true. The shrink must race against time to save every...( read more) -
March 31, 2009This film is edited in such a brilliantly strategic and complicated way that many will watch it twice and see how everything from the set-design to the editing already makes a pretty strong allusion to the ending. It's extremely fascinating to watch. I loved it.
-
-
March 22, 2009Very good movie for 90 minutes, but a less-than-clear ending almost ruins it.
-
March 14, 2009this movie SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was bored the whole time I sat and watched it.
-
February 26, 2009Confusing, not well thought out. But great performances from Ewan and Ryan.
-
February 18, 2009What a frigging confusion crap fest...I felt robbed! Good actors doing a stupid mess of a movie.
-
February 10, 2009Pretty good psychological thriller. Worth a watch if you are into these kinds of movies.
-
February 9, 2009I seem to have got into a habit of picking seriously confusing films, this being one of them. Another one I'll have to watch again.
