Stay (2013)

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Throughout this movie, we were never quite sure what was going on. This was annoying at first, until we realized that that seems part of the theme. In the end, even though not all the questions got answered, we were left feeling like all might work out for the best.The same annoyance came with the way characters were treating each other and barely communicating, yet without the yelling and drama often seen in film today, these characters were able to forge closer bonds with one another.The movie does move very slowly and we've never been fans of the imagery that gungy language creates, so those were downers. Otherwise, we liked it. And we loved the locations.

Stay (2013) is a very deep movie that has less to do with the actual events that occur and more to do with the underlying theme. There is no big reveal or surprise, just a few stitched parts that lead to the inevitable ending. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie not just because I am a fan of the country -vs- city surroundings (I travel for work), but its also a story about simply getting over it! Often times people believe that the universe is about them and not the fact that they are merely players, performers and portrayers in a much bigger stage. This movie will not lead to good conversations on a date night, but I recommend seeing it (alone) :-)

"He loves you and you love him, what is the problem?" Abby (Schilling) and Dermot (Quinn) are happy together and in love. Things are going great for them until Abby tells Dermot she is pregnant. He gets angry and forces her to make a choice, she chooses to leave Ireland and go back home to the states. While they are apart they begin to evaluate the way they feel and live. This is a movie that is hard to review and talk about, mainly because this is not really sure what it wanted to be. The plot of the movie says it is about a woman who tells her boyfriend she is pregnant and he hates the idea so much he would rather live alone. The movie is actually about how Dermot responds to this situation, but the baby aspect is never discussed. When you watch you will see what I mean. Not to give anything away but I expected this to be a cookie cutter movie where the man realizes what a mistake he made and changes everything...I was not 100% accurate on this. The movie was OK but really slow moving and not much happens. Overall, nothing much of note here, the big draw in this movie is to watch Taylor Schilling in her first movie since she broke out in Orange Is The New Black. I give this a C+.

It was great the see the extent of Taylor Schillings acting abilities; frequently associated with Orange is the New black, the up-and-coming actress proved she has much more to offer.The story had a great sense of originality, the choice of actors aided with the consistency of the film whilst having great chemistry amongst each other.I was not anticipating very much as Schilling fans expressed their loyalty exclusively towards the character of Piper Chapman (OITNB) and not towards Schillings vast acting capabilities; however after watching this film, all elements coincided with the natural beauty of the land to create a well written and elegantly directed film.
