Stay is interesting, but it's hard to recommend to anyone but the small cadre of David Lynch devotees who will inhale anything with a whiff of similarity to their favorite auteur's scent.
In Marc Forster's humorless thriller, going insane is an exciting, luxurious affair.
This is the kind of flop that makes even the popcorn taste lousy.
There's a lot of talent at work here from the cast to the screenwriter to the director and the visuals, but it's all so arbitrary and cheap and the payoff is so, so lame.
S lot of talent gets expended in Stay. (I'm not including whoever dressed McGregor.) Too bad the movie they made, while effective in short spurts, is almost a complete waste of time.
It's all very deep, but in a tricked-up, art-directed sort of way.

Super Reviewer
Ryan Gosling dazzles once again in this film, in a deep, mind twisting tale on the edge of sanity, that will gradually lose you if you allow it. I've seen this film several times now and have to admit, this is the first time I have watched it and got the ending!
