Live For Love.

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2015)

So basically I am wondering why it took me so long to actually watch this film. I'll try to write this with no spoilers.
If I Stay is a film based on the book by Gayle Forman. It is about a girl called Mia Hall (Chloe Grace Moretz) and how her life changes after her whole family is in a car accident, leaving her in a coma. She is having an out-of-body experience and must decide whether to wake up and live a different life or to end it by not waking up. The choice is all down to her.
During her out-of-body experience, she see's her other relatives turn up, her friends and her love, Adam (Jamie Blackley). The film focus' a lot on their love and their journey, with the help of some flashbacks you kind of get how and why they fall in love. They are both into music but at different ends of the spectrum. He is a rock star in a band and she loves classical music and plays the cello (which whoever is playing her music double is AMAZING). It shows the trouble they go through when he goes away and starts to make it big, while she's at school applying for colleges, but there is one in particular college that she wants to go to and that is Juilliard, but that means leaving Adam behind. The flashbacks also show the relationship between her and her parents and her little brother, with her best friend Kate and into some of her memory's, like Halloween and New Year, where she is surrounded with people she loves. It's a true love story on so many levels.
I like this film because it has stayed true to the book and oh my it just made me feel all emotions all at once. I couldn't give this any more credit. So tissues at the ready because you will cry.
