: Stay

Director: Marc Forster

A disappointment. I didn’t know much about this going in and didn’t want to: the concept sounded bizarre and intriguing, which is usually a hit-or-miss kind of movie. For me, this missed. The premise is that a psychiatrist is treating a suicidal young man who seems to be able to predict the future. That sounds neat, but the idea is quickly dropped and the film becomes a chaotic mess where you’re not sure who is who or what is what. For instance, the boy says his parents are dead, but the psychiatrist meets the strange mom. So who’s going crazy, the kid or the doctor? The problem with this kind of film — similar to the mediocre Stay.
