Please do yourself a favor and never trust film critics. This is a great film that is, like any great work of art, subjective. I've got my interpretation but there can be many more. If you like great films, you will... Full review

I felt that this movie was quite good, tho it made me think of the movie "Groundhog Day". The actors were great. Though the story was confusing at first, it started getting easier to understand as the storyline went on. I... Full review

Stay, starring Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, and Ryan Gosling, was an okay piece. However, it was very confusing. It will even leave you befuddled and bewildered, disoriented, and feeling very misplaced. This film plays mind games with you that may not... Full review

The single best moment comes from Janeane Garofalo, who bucking the narcoleptic delivery of every other actor on screen, perks things up with a startling infusion of a distinct, and distinctly wry, personality.
The visuals are stylish, but as cold as everything else in the film done as much for the razzle and the dazzle as to advance the story.

The script by David Benioff ( "Stay" , "25th Hour", "Troy" ) does an admirable job of condensing multiple characters and time periods into a cohesive two hours.
Seamless special effects are used to follow the kites as they swoop and soar in an aerial ballet that will make any audience member recall the carefree days of youth.

The movie is trying to make a visual impact via repetative use of imagery, mirrors especially, elements overlapping from one scene to the next, but I don't think this was to good effect.
This movie spins a tale that is just not believable to me and is poorly told.

With Stay I liked the challenge of not having that safety.
As he prepares for his upcoming projects- Stranger than Fiction and The Kite Runner -and the DVD release of his latest film, Stay, Forster speaks with MM about his indie breakthrough, living up to the standards of past successes and peeling the layers off the storytelling process.

Pretty to look at, tough to follow, and, ultimately, difficult to swallow, Stay certainly isn't a bad film ...
Forster seems to know that Benioff's story is planning to dock at a familiar pier, so he does all he can to infuse Stay with nifty camera swings, flashy scene transitions, and an overall air of dream-like sedateness.
