There's this old famous Irish saying that goes something like, “It's easy to halve a potato where there's love.” It's basically a much more Irish (and awesome) way of saying “sharing is caring.” The trouble is, what happens when the potato is rotten? Well, if you've been a keen observer of world news this year you may have come across a bizarre headline coming out of Siberia in January, which read that four people died after being exposed to poisonous gas emitting from rotten potatoes. It's a real thing. While it would be much too harsh to call Wiebke von Carolsfeld's film about complicated relationships "fatally poisonous," there is a faint hint of rot that made this reviewer a wee bit queasy on more than one occasion. Hard as it may try to pull you in towards its intimate story, “Stay” ultimately achieves the completely opposite effect and makes...

Imagine a sad, realist remake of Leap Year. It might resemble Wiebke von Carolsfeld's indie romance Stay, which at least isn't predicated on plot points steeped in weirdly sexist folklore.
Stay portrays West Ireland's moors and hamlets as stark, brooding terrain on which, by contrast, townies become townier and lovers become cuddlier. Instead of Amy Adams doing slapstick amid a herd of cows, we have Taylor Schilling of Orange Is the New Black as Abby, a much more self-contained heroine but hardly a more capable one.
Schilling's skin is too consistently glowing to pass for a convict's, but it's not a problem in the role of a young Montreal woman who moves to an Irish country house with her former professor, now boyfriend, Dermot (Aidan Quinn)...

An adaptation of the novel by Aislinn Hunter, Stay is a film 10 years in the making. It was a project that so entranced writer/director Wiebke von Carolsfeld that she stuck with it through the years of uncertainty common to smaller budget Canadian projects, juggling the demands that come along with managing a co-production between two countries – Ireland and Canada – and shooting in two vastly different locations.
The character-rich film follows the story of Abby (Orange is the New Black’s Taylor Schilling), a young Canadian woman living in rural Ireland with her much older lover Dermot (Aidan Quinn). After finding out she’s accidentally pregnant and wondering if she’s cut out to be a mother (and whether Dermot will accept becoming a father), Abby embarks on an emotional, self-exploratory journey home to Canada to visit her Dad (Michael Ironside).

After retreating to the rugged expanse of the Irish countryside, their happy existence is upended when Abbey discovers she’s pregnant.
Dermot, a long-since disgraced professor, has no interest in being a father. With their lives now at a crossroads, Abbey and Dermot’s relationship hangs in the balance. They must both face the truth of who they are and which path in life to take that will finally lead them home.

Top brass at the 25th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival (Psiff) have announced a new programme on Canadian Cinema as well as the traditionally strong roster of foreign-language films eligible for the Fipresci Award in the Awards Buzz section, and Modern Masters.
The festival will screen 45 of the 76 official foreign-language Oscar submissions under the umbrella of Awards Buzz.
“We’ve selected Canadian films for a special focus at this year’s festival for many reasons, not the least of which is the wealth of talent emerging from its relatively small, indigenous film industry, and the depth and richness of story and character portrayal its films exemplify,” said festival director Darryl Macdonald.
“Whether it’s established auteurs like Denis Coté, Denis Villenueve and Atom Egoyan, gifted actor-directors like Don McKellar and Sarah Polley or newly emerging talents like Chloé Robichaud, Craig Goodwill and Sébastien Pilote, Canadian creative ingenuity is on abundant display in its films.

Please note that this is a capsule review. Our full review is under embargo until the film’s release date, which is Tbd.
Based on the novel by Aislinn Hunter, the sweetly melancholic Stay introduces us to Dermot (Aidan Quinn) and Abbey (Taylor Schilling, from Netflix’s Orange is the New Black), a couple in the midst of a May/December romance that’s only beginning to emerge from its hazy honeymoon phase.
The two live in rural Ireland, in a tiny town that hasn’t quite accepted Abbey as a permanent fixture in Dermot’s life, making it all the more difficult for the Montreal-born drifter to settle down. When Abbey realizes she’s pregnant, it causes a rift in her relationship with Dermot who’s always made it clear he’s not interested in being a Father. She decides to return home to Canada to see her Dad,...

The 2013 Toronto International Film Festival has announced its lineup of Canadian features, which includes The F Word from Michael Dowse (Goon) starring Daniel Radfliffe and Adam Driver ("Girls"), Xavier Dolan's new film Tom at the Farm and Denis Villeneuve's second film to be added to the festival Enemy, which stars one of his two leads in Prisoners (which is also premiering in Toronto), Jake Gyllenhaal. The F Word is also Daniel Radfliffe's third film in the fest after Horns from Alexandre Aja and Kill Your Darlings. F Word centers on Wallace (Radfliffe) who meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) and it would be love at first sight, except she lives with her long-term boyfriend. So Wallace, acting with both best intentions -- and maybe a little denial -- discovers the dirtiest word in romance: friends. Dolan is coming off the fantastic Laurence Anyways and again wrote, directed and stars in...
