J’ai retenu mon souffle de bout en bout, tant je me suis laissé prendre par l’action allègre, le suspense et le désir de connaître la vérité. Mais je n’ai toujours pas compris la fin et j’aimerais qu’on me l’explique. C’est que je m’y suis cassé la tête pendant des heures !

Forster plays Lynch and with a gradually escalating plot, interesting visuals (occasionally delicious cuts between locations) and hand in hand with the growing confusion in the viewer's head, he moves towards the climax, the big reveal that clarifies nothing at all and forces many interpretations, namely: a) the twist is so trivial it hurts, b) it's so sophisticated that nobody gets it, c) Forster is just taking the piss. For me it's a), and while Lynch’s movies are exciting in their bizarreness even after repeated viewings, Stay is a one-shot mess. And by the way, Gosling was excellent, Mc Gregor did his standard and Watts is just there for decoration.

A picture that immediately captures you with its great visuals and then with its powerful story. It gradually turns into a good example of a Lynch-style movie where you have no idea where you stand, who is who, etc. The excellent cast just goes to enhance the overall impression. But unlike movies by David Lynch, Stay has a clear message... And that it where its downfall lies. The message luckily isn’t served up absolutely word for word, but it doesn’t leave much room for the viewer to make up his own mind. I can shake the feeling that, if it weren’t for the final scene, this movie could have been a beautiful experience overflowing with “dreamy" magic, despite being incomprehensible. This way it remains just a showcase for Forster and, in a way, a trick on the viewer, because the cheapest explanation is always correct. In the end, this is just an over-combined variation on Jacob’s Ladder.

One of those “is this reality or is it a dream?” games the relies mainly on how smart the screenwriter is and on the talent and feeling of the director, because it can very easily become a dud that doesn’t make any sense. Fortunately, this one turned out well. I will study Forster and will keep an eye on him for the future.

The perfect atmosphere, full of paranoia, fear, mystery, and confusion, all supported by a great soundtrack. I am giving it a practically neutral review because even though the movie absorbed me and I was holding my breath the entire time, I expected the climax on the bridge to provide me with some answers, but as it so often happens with movies like this, it turned out to be the complete opposite. I understood the main plotline in my own way, perhaps incorrectly, and the secondary one (Henry's father) almost not at all. However, the visual aspect, full of camera tricks, is enough to rate it this high in my opinion, even though the ending cooled my enthusiasm a bit.
