Great film. One of the most emotional ones you could watch.

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2016)

If I Stay is one of the most beautiful, emotional, and amazing films you could watch. It is about a girl called Mia (played by Chloe Grace Moretz) who suffers from a major car accident that her and her family are in. She goes into a coma, and she has an out-of-body experience. The movie also flashbacks to incidents about her life leading up to the accident and around that about either passions or difficulties (the cello, getting into Juilliard or not, and her boyfriend Adam). It is shown that her mom, dad and brother died from complications from the collision, but Mia was still in a coma, and the doctors, Adam and her best friend Kim, were hoping she would wake up (with one of the doctors assuring her that it was her choice whether she lived or died) towards the end, after the rest of her family sadly passing, her grandfather who had a close bond with and devotion to her, was beside her hospital bed in tears, saying that she needs to fight to stay alive because she's come so far with her life. Soon after, at different times, both Kim and Adam were devastated beside her bed, talking to her, hoping she'd wake up (Kim takes out a photo on her phone that she said she'll always remember her by that photo, and Adam puts headphones on her head to play a specific type of song/music). Soon after the moment with her and Adam, she wakes up from the coma, and the movie ends on Adam's word "Mia?"
Both plots with the flashbacks of Mia's cello talent, her relationship with Adam and hope for a place in Julliard, and then the out-of-body experience she has in the hospital, are done brilliantly and are both extremely emotional in many ways. This movie certainly made me shed a tear. A great movie altogether.
