Aiden Quinn, Taylor Schilling
“STAY” My rating: C+ (OpeningMarch 21 at the Glenwood South)
99 minutes | No MPAA rating
“Stay” is a well-acted, minor-key Irish love story that is probably too minor-key for its own good.
Dermot (Aidan Quinn) is a sixtysomething retired history professor now living in a small burg on the coast near Galway, Ireland. As “Stay” begins, he’s happily cohabiting with Abby (Taylor Schilling, star of Showtime’s prison dramedy “Orange Is the New Black”), a woman half his age.
All seems blissful until Abby realizes she’s preggers. Dermot has never hidden his antipathy toward fatherhood and Abby’s condition aggravates whatever cracks are in their relationship.
She heads back home to Montreal and her blue-collar father (Michael Ironside) to decide whether to have an abortion or go through with the pregnancy.
