Amazing, I actually got through both films I planned to watch tonight...
Stay
I guess this was a decent enough film, but it was far from perfect. It was very well acted, especially on Gosling's part. He almost reminded me of Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko. MacGreggor was pretty good as well, but not nearly as good as he has been in the past. The plot was OK, I guess, but the director ruined any surprises it may have had in store. To avoid spoilers I'll just say this: Some very obvious and intrusive symbolism, as well as the way the camera showed certain people/objects, revealed much of the outcome long before it should have. For that reason I was pretty disappointed with the ending, though there were some great visuals. Last but not least, I wish that they would have focused more on MacGreggor's character near the end. We see a lot of him, but I wish they could have gone more into what he was thinking and feeling. To sum up, I guess this one's worth renting, but I wouldn't spend too much on it.
5.5/10
