Most people will not 'like' this film. At it's best it's a profoundly psychological and existential example of The Human Condition. At it's worst, it comes across as a bloody mess. But ( and it's a reasonably large but ) Stay does offer an insight into a different way of presenting a film.
Experimental, stylised and rule breaking. The director, Marc Forster, could be forgiven for being too indulgent in technique and editing, but the story deserves an abstract approach.
Without revealing the plot, the pay-off comes after the film has finished and you think about what you have just experienced...

looks interesting...
is it like the sixth sense, where by he's already dead, but then he wakes up thinking he's alive, then dies again, then wakes to find himself alive, but really he's not even real and looks in a mirror to see that he is just a fictional character in a film about a pychologist being in limbo between life and death, but realizes soon after that he's not even in a film and is just a figment of someone's imagination, that someone being him but in a past life that has already happened but is now being replayed in a fututristic Japanese dream lab?
I met Ewan McGregor while riding my Triumph, he was on his Moto Guzzi. Nice chap.
