Review of Stay (2005) by Marina N — 22 Jul 2011
This movie is a trip: intense camera work, crazy angles, insane scene transitions, gorgeous lighting, breaking 360 rules, breaking pretty much every rule in the play book just to toy with the viewer's brain and it works.
Naturally, the acting is good all around and great from Gosling, the music is tremendous, the effects are impressive buuuuuut the story, while comprehensible, doesn't want to develop characters; however, that is likely part of its plan for the lead up to the finale.
I still felt something was missing but overall a great achievement technically. A bit like 'Jacob's Ladder' yet 'Stay' is its own monster of a mind-fuck.
