Stay Reviews and Ratings

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)

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.
-
February 9, 2009A real puzzler, how to rate a movie that still makes no sense? I lost sleep the first night in confoundment over what actually happened to no avail. So the bigger question is, wherein lies the value of cinema? Is it in the experience or in the understanding?
I'm a logical per...( read more) -
February 5, 2009An overlooked movie which deserves more recognition. Brilliant performences and a truly memorable... trippy film.

January 3, 2009Forgot Marc Forster directed this...a very clever movie that I think a lot of people write off as pretentious...I recommend it.

-
December 20, 2008This could have been an amazing movie... but it fell short on a number of levels. [SPOILER AHEAD] Notably, the timeline you're eventually asked to accept doesn't make any sense unless you infer that Henry and Sam are the same character in some delusion, which isn't played out. Th...( read more)

December 19, 2008Fantastic story that will have you chasing different scenarios until the final conclusion. This is a psychological trip showing how a tragic dead brings about something unexpected.
-
December 13, 2008Played on IFC earlier...I've watched this only a few times before, but it's been a while, so good to see it again. Everyone who has written about the film's art and the story itself is right...the movie is fantastic; actors are great...loved the transitions from scene to scene. ...( read more)

December 12, 2008I don't know how to rate this film `cause I don't understand anything, what this film is about and where it's leading me when I'm watching. Maybe if you understand, you'll love it, but it's not the case for me.

-
November 23, 2008A good film, but this is one of those movies where you either like it or you don't get it and there's really no middle ground.
-
November 9, 2008I'll have to watch this one a second time before I attempt to explain it to someone else. It's a very interesting concept; but I'm just not sure if I completely understood it. With that being said, I still thought it was an excellent movie because I think there is a lot more to t...( read more)

October 28, 2008Stay is a lot like fine wine. If you don't like it, then you REALLY don't like it. But if you like it, then you appreciate it for it's beauty. This is exactly how this film is.
Stay is a thought provoking film that most people won't actually understand , but those who do ca...( read more) -
October 28, 2008visually stunning and inventive movie butl it seemed an excuse for wizardy.
-
October 26, 2008É um filme interessante, mas fica mais interessante quando você começa a entender de fato alguma coisa, ou seja, só no final.
