How Long It Stays
Whether a film lets go of you when the credits roll — or follows you home and stays for days.
Some films end when they end. Others keep unfolding on the walk home, in the shower, a week later when a song brings the whole thing back. This is what people mean when they say a film stayed with them — the afterlife it keeps having inside you once the screen goes dark.

FAQ
Why do some films hit harder after they end?
Because they leave the last piece of work to you. Your mind keeps running the final scene until it lands — and a feeling that arrives on its own is stronger than one handed to you.
Is this the same as a sad ending?
No. A sad ending tells you how to feel on the way out. A film that stays lets the feeling find you later, on its own schedule.
