Review of Stay

Stay (I) (2005)
8/10
David Lynch wannabe film
17 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Very superbly and methodically shot, coupled with graphic matches, surreal rendition of motion picture imagery, graphic matches and perfectly timed use of Dutch angles.

Although you'd notice Ewan McGregor could NOT yet perfectly pass up for an American, traces of Scottish accent albeit a very convincing portrayal of the shrink Dr. Sam Foster. Ryan Gosling is also good, and as usual the beautiful and sexy Naomi Watts does her always impeccable Stanislavsky oriented acting without an iota of reprieves or slips into an Australian accent (but this is so also with other great Aussies like Geoffrey Rush, Radha Mitchell, Hugh Jackman and et cetera.) I could have done without the haphazard, Lynchian plotting. Nonetheless STAY is eye candy, if you can tolerate a somewhat pretentious execution of plot.

8/10
