I was supposed to watch Lucky Number Slevin but the downloaded copy I had turned out to be corrupted so I decided to watch Stay. I had downloaded it a while back but wasn’t very keen in watching it but since I didn’t have anything else I went ahead and did.
The movie stars Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts, where Ewan plays the role of a psychiatrist who is trying to stop one of his patients from committing suicide. Things start to go weird and confusing and he tries to get a grip on what is real and what isn’t.
The movie wasn’t only weird and confusing to Ewan but also to me. I don’t mind “strange” movies and I don’t mind being puzzled trying to figure out whats going on, but the problem with Stay is that in the end when everything finally comes together and all the questions answered, you realize that the past 90 minutes were really not worth the ending. I am not going to ruin the the movie and tell you what happens in the end but I can tell you that it didn’t leave me shocked but more like “huh this is it? How lame.”
The movie felt slow at some points but the acting was great and visually the movie looked cool. In general I like Ewan McGregor as long as he isn’t singing and Naomi Watts when she isn’t running around the jungle looking for King Kong. It could be the movie wasn’t weird enough to make the ending good or maybe its the other way around, but whatever the case, I didn’t have high expectations of the movie to begin with and so wasn’t left too disappointed.

Lucky Number Slevin is good—I saw it in London.
Stay is a good deep movie for people who like to think about the movie after it finishes.
update your xbox media center dude. get the latest expert release, expert ftw
I would add half a star to your rating mark.
I watched the film and enjoyed it, but i had the same feeling towards the end. Yet i had been given clues before hand which made me enjoy the experience, the small details, the attention to detail in this film is amazing. His pants for example. Editing was top notch, matt chesse always does really good work with marc and their next film, “stranger than fiction” with will farell is really funny, he showed me about 20 minutes of it. Also they are about to start working on the
“kite runner” which hopefully will be as good as the book.
Sorry for the long comment.
