I love a good date night movie with lies, deceit and lots of twists and turns. If you do too you will love this movie. This is the directorial debut for Yara Estrada Lowe and she does a terrific job. She captures the genre perfectly and gives us a spicy dramatic tale. She also wrote this movie which is all the more impressive. It moves along at a nice pace and has just the right amount of suspense and twists. The cast is great lead by Carlo Mendez who gives a great performance. Without giving anything away he really had me wondering if his character was a nice guy who was confused or just a womanizing jerk. Liz Fenning and Crystal Hernandez are also very strong as the female leads. I recommend this movie and can't wait to see what Yara does next.

I was very impressed with this film. Yes it's a small independent movie but there was so much to like and it was very well done. I thought the cast was great and the direction was solid but what I liked most of all was the story. I was unable to figure out exactly what was going on until the very end when it wraps up and wraps up nicely. It moves a little slow at times but the pacing fits the tone of the movie and I never lost interest. Best of all it has a really nice pay off if you just stay with it. The lead actor was great and of course Tobin Bell was magnificent as always. I would very much recommend this movie. 8/10.

Follow the reviews not the stars. The Stay is a refreshing break from the big budget CGI movies. Is it a perfect movie? No. Is it entertaining? Yes. Would I recommend it? Heck yes.
