Leave your thoughts about If I Stay.
| Village VoiceStephanie Zacharek[Cutler] approaches all these teenage hyperfeelings with respect and sensitivity. It doesn’t hurt that he has Moretz in his corner. |
| Screen InternationalJohn HazeltonA deft and nicely packaged mix of romance, music and tragedy. |
| The Monitor (McAllen, TX)Brooke CorsoThe film's tone can't seem to find a footing as the seriousness of Mia's family's situation in the hospital is juxtaposed with the pseudo-dramas of teenage love. |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyCutler flows between the present and the past to show Mia's loving connection to her family, music and friends in her life. This design makes it difficult to predict where this story will end, an accomplishment considering the limited options. |
| Movie MezzanineTomris Laffly...it's regrettably the case that If I Stay is made of the stuff the [YA] genre's harshest critics presume it to be. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowA touching story about an appealing young couple. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfMistaking control for adoration, If I Stay makes Twilight look like a Gloria Steinem manifesto. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)Mark AdamsWhile there is tragedy at its centre, it's also about the power of love - among family, friends and lovers. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a decent adaptation that could've been just a little bit better. |
| Movie TalkJason BestThis shamelessly manipulative teen weepie turns on all the taps, but improbable characters and trite dialogue mean that all but very lachrymose viewers will probably remain dry eyed. |
