Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Rachel AvivIn Marc Forster's humorless thriller, going insane is an exciting, luxurious affair. People suffer stylishly; depressives are angry and dirty; they make art, carry guns, and live in magnificent houses.
ComingSoon.net - 9/10 by Joshua StarnesIt is both straightforward and abstract, using cinematic tricks to put the audience in Sam/Henry's headspace. The result is a bit a sense of intentional vertigo that may cloud the films ultimately humanist point.
7M Pictures - 9/10 by Kevin CarrSo often, I have seen films like this that try to walk the fine line between creativity and confusion. Director Marc Forster manages to walk that line with precision.
Boulder Weekly - 9/10 by Thomas DelapaFoster's payoff is so chintzy it would make even Freud run away.
TV Guide - 9/10 by Maitland McDonaghYet another variation on the theme of Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." If you've read the short story, you'll see where things are going in no time flat; if you haven't and want to be surprised, don't look it up.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 9/10 by Robert DenersteinAnother exercise in alienated chic, Stay plays like an impenetrable collage. The movie's chilly moods and eerie suggestions don't amount to much, and all the weirdness leads to a pip-squeak of a payoff.
FilmJerk.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfThere are no surprises to get excited about, and Forster's stylistic choices tend to push the film into tedium
Variety - 9/10 by Todd McCarthyAn ultra-arty "The Sixth Sense" that deliberately inhibits comprehension of the story until the very end -- and arguably continues to inhibit it even then -- pic features certifiably talented people on both sides of the camera collaborating on a project that probably shouldn't have been undertaken in the first place.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe ending is an explanation, but not a solution. For a solution we have to think back through the whole film, and now the visual style becomes a guide. It is an illustration of the way the materials of life can be shaped for the purposes of the moment.
Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David Nusair...a striking piece of work, one that stays with the viewer long after the end credits have rolled.
