While If I Stay hopefully teaches no one lessons about romance, it does teach something beautiful about love. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- The yuckiness here comes from a manipulative and sugary screenplay that makes even the terminally lachrymose The Fault in Our Stars seem dry and restrained by comparison. Full Review

The film, based on a well-shaped screenplay by Shauna Cross, moves in waves and surges of emotion.

Rating: 2/5 -- It's interesting to make a driven young female the focus of the narrative, but the cloying narcissism on display will soon have sane people - of all ages - wanting to give up the ghost. Full Review

At its best, IF I STAY evokes the primacy of friendship, the warmth of family...and the urgency of adolescent love…

What makes "If I Stay" a pleasant surprise is Moretz. She is so convincing here, delivering a performance that overcomes the moments when the film could have easily spiraled into Lifetime movie-level melodrama. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- Disappointingly little of the rock and classical music shot through the novel is utilised; instead clichéd scoring, familiar dialogue and minimal chemistry between Moretz and Blackley renders Cutler's film far less engaging than its source material. Full Review
