Review of Stay (2005) by Jarle H — 12 May 2009
This movie didn't get much publicity when it was released and I think that a lot of people missed out on a great movie because of that. This movie bends reality and makes you think the entire way through.
It follows Henry Letham, played by Ryan Gosling, and Sam Foster, played by Ewan McGregor. Henry is a college student who is experiencing strange phenomenons and ends up seeing Sam who is a psychologist.
It is hard to tell if the movie is from Henry or Sam's point of view, and that is what keeps you thinking. This film is visually stunning, with transitions like I have never seen before. They are so original and seemless.
This movie was directed by Marc Forster who I have had the pleasure of meeting when I taped an interview with him for Finding Neverland. He has done several movies that I have enjoyed such as, Stranger than Fiction and Quantum of Solace.
