Critics' reviews

"An ultra-arty 'The Sixth Sense' that deliberately inhibits comprehension of the story until the very end

Todd McCarthy: Variety
"The type of movie often described as a fever-dream: weird, offbeat, otherworldly… An experience that also coincides with feeling ill."

Ian Nathan: Empire
"Eventually I gave up on meaning"

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"The movie demands that its viewers put the fragmented images and information together like an intellectual jigsaw puzzle, but it never gives those viewers a good reason to do so."

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
"Despite the actors, the visuals and Forster's directorial swagger, the movie lacks impact"

Michael Wilmington: Chicago Tribune
"Forster should be commended for attempting something as daunting as the overreaching Stay."

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"Stay is interesting, but it's hard to recommend to anyone but the small cadre of David Lynch devotees who will inhale anything with a whiff of similarity to their favorite auteur's scent."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"It's worse than bad. It's mediocre."

Wesley Morris: Boston Globe
