This has to be my favorite movie of all time. The characters, although in an unrealistic situation, are lovable and believable, the acting is amazing, the film style is unique and beautiful, and the soundtrack ties the entire film together and carries it forward. Although difficu...( read more)
Stay is a film, that I'm sure many people are going to dislike. With that being said, I am not one of those people. There were a lot of things I loved about this movie and I find it hard to pin-point any serious dislikes. First of all, the acting was very solid. Gosling portrayed...( read more)
Schizoid films are pretty popular these days, aren't they? Never mind the confusion, or is there any point of messing with all orders of things - what I really liked about Stay was visual quality. For some time I haven't seen so ingenious, well done (and that many) transitions in...( read more)
After a couple of rewatches, the film makes a lot more sense - it is a flawed, bizarre tale, but also clever in it's own way. The film has so many interesting camera effects and cuts, it really helps to tell the story in a unique way.
Henry Letham: I burned myself.
Sam Foster: You burned yourself? Why?
Henry Letham: Practicing for Hell.
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 ...( read more)
Brutal!! While watching the movie there are sooo many ideas on your mind about what is happening and what will happen, but you never guess the real ending! A very good movie! With great actors like Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling!
I love the actors in this one, but I might have to watch it a few times to understand it completely.
I wasn't even sure how to rate this to be honest..... First of all Ryan Gosling was just amazing, i really rate him as an actor he has this intense mysterious quality that very few people have. The rest of the cast also did a sterling job with this - the cinematography was beauti...( read more)
This movie was very hard to follow. The story line in this was confusing, and even after it all ended, I was still confused. Maybe I just could not read that much into this movie.
It's the type of movie that will make your head ache from trying to explain to yourself why things happen the way they do. As the story progressed, i just had about thought that either Ewan McGregor's character was experiencing some sort of schizophrenia and everyone else was one...( read more)
I'm still trying to figure this movie out...it's a bit confusing but it's a paranormal movie so I think it is supposed to be like that.
And Ryan Gosling's performance in this movie is amazing. If you don't like paranormal movies at least you should watch this movie just because R...( read more)
These mystery drama's are definitely becoming favourites of mine, as the story just draws me in each time. This had very decent actors who did their part well and the ending did make me rethink the events in the whole film again. Very well done.
I really, really liked what Marc Forester did with this film. Confusing as it was at times, I really liked the visuals. I really enjoyed watching Ryan Gosling, (as I always do). The first time I saw it, I could stop thinking about this movie. I really love it.
"Tell me they'll remember me." ... "Who?" ... "The world." ... "The world will remember you. Now take off your clothes."
This had some very interesting camera and lighting work. I really did not understand what was going on, although I did enjoy the acting. Now that I have read some other explanations of what the heck it was about, I understand. It was a very interesting artistic film, but not o...( read more)
Ponderous film is somewhat challenging to watch, but its provocative plot twists will compel to you find out what happens next.
I figured out the "twist" about ten minutes before they actually explained it... and was disappointed even so. It was a very jumbled, confusing story in the way that Wicker Park, Vanilla Sky, and Mulholland Drive are... but this one didn't pull it off any better than Wicker Park...( read more)
When watching this film I feel like I'm viewing a abstract art piece. I find this film very beautiful to watch, although it gives a slightly uncomfortable feel. I thought the cast did a great job and I enjoyed the mystery/suspense of film.
Beautiful movie with an excellently executed plot twist at the end. A plot twist that was actually meaningful, unlike M. Night Shyamalan's movies...
it didnt make a whole lot of sense, & didnt conclude very well...you never find out the real truth
genious masterpiece. Never seen such a cutting before. In the end all puzzle parts fit together and form a superb picture. And then you have to watch it all over again to find it totally different from the first time you watched it. Impressive.
It doesn't make any sense and it was boring. Ewan McGregor sucked big time. Marc Forster, Ryan Gosling: you disappoint me.
Aw man, what the hell is this? With a tagline like "You can't stay between the living and the dead", you'd think that this would be halfway interesting. It's not. It's confusing, and when it's not it's boring, and when it's not either it's infuriatingly disappointing. The entire ...( read more)
wow talk about building up a movie and then getting to the end and trowing everything you worked so hard for out the window. (nn)
i really like odd movies. This one just didn't make it all the way for me. Great actors and everything..
Quite enjoyable for the moment but I think it relies too much on the last ten minutes. The whole movie is a long wait for what causes the strange events and for a movie where the ending is such a key factor the final scene is pretty disappointing actually.
I loved this movie! I've never seen anything like it. I honestly would have to say this beats all the other movies I've seen and that it's better then Fight Club
so cool. gosling watts mcgregor all of them work well and of course ian holm
I really wanted to watch this film, following a recommendation from a friend. But after watching the film I was left dissapointed. It has a good cast, and story line, but somehow the ending was rubbish, and it was mundane throughout.
Really good cast here (I?m really starting to dig Ryan Gosling), good performances, the cinematography and overall style of the film is gorgeous, and gives a sort of ?Alice in Wonderland? feeling.
What kept me from rating it higher was the fact that towards the end of the film,...( read more)
It's a great movie. The whole movie is about Henry's (Ryan Gosling) last minutes of life. He saw his life flashing through his eyes and trying to cope with his family just dying and himself dying too. You must see it 'till the end! Ryan Gosling and Ewan McGregor were great!
I kind'a like it. Just could make all the connections for myself. Maybe it would be better to watch it not alone.
Not recommended for already depressed people :P
This was quite the weird movie. I think it tried to be smart with it's twist, but wound up really just being lost.
Good perfomance from Gosling and McGregor though.
