The steadily affecting relationship drama "Stay" is a great example of how a film can rise above its terrible dialogue.
Overview
A woman finds out she's pregnant and returns home when the expected father wants nothing to do with her.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The film was adapted from a novel by Aislinn Hunter, but the characters' inner lives remain elusive.
Static and uninvolving despite a decent cast.
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.
