Stay early screening review.


Last night I got to go to an early screening of Stay, a film by Marc Foster (Monster’s Ball, Finding Neverland), and starring ewan mcgregor, Naomi Watts, and Ryan Gosling. This film is Foster’s most artistic so far, and he uses visuals more than spoken words, something he talked about after the screening. There are some really cool transitions between scenes that in some movies may seem a little too artistic but since this movie is about two characthers and their paths to one spot in time, it all makes sense at the end. I won’t ruin the end for you but it’s a nice twist ontop of the usually twist we have all learned to guess. This movie combines Ghost, and some Hitchcock, is fun, enjoyable, and the actors are great except for Watts, who seems preoccupied with something else, maybe a 2000 pound ape. O.k. check it out. One interesting comment from foster, he had not seen a movie till he was a teenager. The first one he saw, Apocolypse Now. Ouch!
