The steadily affecting relationship drama "Stay" is a great example of how a film can rise above its terrible dialogue.

Inkoo Kang, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

The film was adapted from a novel by Aislinn Hunter, but the characters' inner lives remain elusive.

Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Rotten

Static and uninvolving despite a decent cast.

Dennis Harvey, Variety
Rotten

Despite the affecting performances by the two leads, this overly muted drama fails to make much of an impact.

The somber mood lifts like clouds after a storm, at a pace just sluggish enough that the happy ending doesn't seem too gratuitous.

Heather Baysa, Village Voice
