If I Stay (2014)
7/10
Worth staying for
6 September 2014
It was a real intense roller coaster of emotions raging form sappy to happy, to sad, to dark.

I like that the movie had a music base to it. I enjoyed the story of the main character, Mia's passion for the Cello, which only seemed to contradict her parents passion for Punk Rock. Although not really a fan of the indi rock scene a lot of the movie focused on It did not halt my enjoyment overall.

Huge fan of Chloë Grace Moretz who plays Mia. Mostly because of her role as Hit girl in the Kick Ass movies, but it was cool to see her do other things. She has a real connection with the kid who played Adam, which made their own screen relationship entertaining to watch.

Romance is not really my thing, and it gets a little to sappy when it revolves around teen love stories, but I thought it was worked well.

Like the ghost story element as well. It was touching to see how fulling a person's life can be in such a small period of time, not just for her but for people around her.

This was a good one.
