If I Stay is a 2014 movie starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Jamie Blackley, Mireille Enos, Joshua Leonard, Stacy Keach, Lauren Lee Smith, Liana Liberato, Aisha Hinds, Aliyah O'Brien, and Jakob Davies. It's based on a 2009 young adult novel by Gayle Forman and is about a teenage girl hovering between life and death. The film goes back and forth between the past and present, where Mia Hall (Chloë Grace Moretz) and her family have been involved in a car accident. Mia has an out-of-body experience and sees herself lying on the ground and then being loaded into an ambulance. Mia continues to have this out-of-body experience once she gets to the hospital, and she eventually finds out the fate of her mother (Mireille Enos), father (Joshua Leonard), and brother (Jakob Davies) while her physical body is still unconscious.
Chloë Grace Moretz is a great actress, and she did an amazing job in If I Stay; all of the other performances were great as well (especially Jamie Blackley as Mia's boyfriend). I thought the movie might be depressing, but it really wasn't that depressing considering the circumstances, and it was very thought-provoking. I'm not sure anyone can watch If I Stay without thinking about what they would choose if they were in Mia's situation.
My rating: 8/10
