Oct 20, 2005 · The visual strategy in Marc Forster's "Stay" is so subtle you might miss it, but it provides a clue to the movie's secret. I will describe the strategy but not the secret.

Oct 21, 2005 · Similar also to 2005's devastatingly brilliant "November," "Stay" features many of the same plot devices and freakish ideas, but unlike that overlooked indie gem, there doesn't seem to be much of a point to director Marc Forster's (2001's "Monster's Ball") needlessly complicated stylistic tricks.
