ReelViews James Berardinelli If I Stay demands that viewers bring Kleenexes to the theater but the story is more obviously manipulative and it lacks the freshness and wit that kept The Fault in Our Stars from becoming depressing. Although If I Stay tries to be life-affirming, it's more of a downer because the film's frequent returns to the grim, uncertain present cast a pall over everything. | 13 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Although Chloë Grace Moretz gives it her all and the story adds an intriguing supernatural twist to its melodramatic YA framework, If I Stay is ultimately more manipulative than moving. | 7 | |
