Stay

One of those perception-thrillers - a bit of star wattage in Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling (not to mention Bob Hoskins and Janeane Garofalo in smaller roles), and a dab hand with camera sleight of hand (which turns out to serve the underlying premise of the film rather neatly). The problem, of course, is that there are generally a limited number of ways that films of this nature can turn out, and Stay indeed reveals itself to be one of those familiar types by its end...still, it's not a cheat, and it's effective enough, so...

(also w/ Michelle at home, involving some slightly ridiculous measures to emulate the night-time ambience that she insisted the film needed while we watched it at 4 in the afternoon)
