Format:DVD
This is a film that bends the mind like "Mulholland Drive" and like that film the clue lies in the opening sequence, in this case with the burning car on Brooklyn Bridge, if you understand this you will understand what is happening in the film.
"Stay" is an awesome achievement, delving into real life in an hallucinatory drama centred on a superb performance by Ryan Gosling as the psychologically unstable student Henry Letham. Psychiatrist Sam Foster (Ewan McGregor) becomes involved in the life of his perplexing patient whose behaviour resonates with his partners problems, Lila Culpepper (Naomi Watts).
This is one helluva complex, multifaceted, multilayered drama that stretches the mind and demands undivided attention from start to finish.

I thought this film was fascinating and gripping from start to finish. As another reviewer has said, probably best not to try to work it out, just go with it. It was worth watching a second time; several unexlained things fell into place. The storyline has been reported in other reviews but what can't be conveyed is the way the film unfolds. If you enjoyed The Butterfly Effect, Eternal Sunshine and the Spotless Mind and maybe The Island, you may well like this. I started watching the film with no particular expectation and ended it saying "That was great". It's offbeat and compelling in my opinion and I am sorry to see some reviewers have not enjoyed it but I certainly did. I don't normally review films I watch but it's because I enjoyed this so much that I wanted to comment.

I bought this film because I caught the middle 20 minutes on Film4, all I can say is fabulous film, had me completely hooked!
I really enjoyed the individual character stories and upon a second viewing, the hints to the plot as the film progressed.
Each time I watch it I learn something new!
Fab!

Stay
Stay is a very unusual but also very interesting film. As others have said before you probably need to watch it several times to fully understand what's going on. Read more

Shambolic.
I must be missing something in this film because I thought it was incomprehensable and shambolic from begining to end. Read more

Put the work in...
This is an easy film to dissmiss as "arty farty nonsense", however if you put some extra thought into it, a world without boundaries will open up for you, a world we all know well... Read more

A tale of Phenomenology
I think the problem people have with this film is that they try and interpret it as a 'story' dealing with 'relationships' in the common sense view. Read more

I thought this film was awesome. It is very sort of experimental, and uses alot of effects which make some scenes look amazing! Read more

"Stay with us Henry"
Marc Foster's Stay has lots of visual flair, but not a lot of discernable content. It's a silly, perplexing psychological thriller, featuring some good performances, but is... Read more
