Stay (2005) 7/10

Starring : Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, Ryan Gosling, Janeane Garofalo, Bob Hoskins
Director : Marc Forster
Running Time : 99 mins

Dr Sam Foster (McGregor), a practising psychiatrist, is faced with a patient, Henry Letham (Gosling), who says he is going to commit suicide. As Foster tries to find ways to prevent his patient from killing himself, he finds his entire sense of reality falling apart and starts to suspect he may be going insane.

This is a very visual movie, with some very unusual camera usage that helps to keep the dreamy aspect of the movie going from beginning to end. Though McGregor's accent is a little distracting, this is a well thought through movie that will either intrigue the viewer to the point where they join in trying to solve the mystery, or else completely confuse you and make you want to switch off in disappointment.

Hi,

This blog is really good.

Just a suggestion, are you able to categorise the movies according to genre..?

Its a bit overwhelming to view it all if someone wants to watch action for example.

Good job and one of the best movie review websites :)
