At a time when dating apps and casual hook-ups are the "new romance standard," reserved and very single Grace feels like an outcast. But when she meets Carter Stone, a professional athlete on the outs, who has his own decision to make, she wonders if maybe Carter is the perfect solution to her problem. After their first attempt at a one-night stand goes awry, they end up spending the evening walking and talking through the streets of Toronto, leading them to a connection neither of them expected.

Jeyapalan's two actors, with sparkling chemistry between them, allow their characters to emerge, tentatively, towards a connection. It's such a pleasure to watch this relationship develop.

Rated: 3.5/4

A charming movie with the idea and premise set perfectly, Stay the Night’s strongest aspects would be the cinematography by Conor Fisher and Jeyapalan’s brilliant storytelling.

What follows is a simple, sweet story about two people who may (or may not) be falling in love with each other over the course of a long evening.

Jeyapalan's script is witty, charming, and filled with affection. An unforgettable debut in a simple but pleasing comedy.

Jeyapalan’s film is one of those romances where the seed of love is planted and allowed to slowly blossom.

Honestly it's Great watch and the love story is well developed and the characters get to learn about one another in and it makes you feel like they've known each other for more than a night

Actors have no chemistry at all. Bang's character is so rigid, self-centered and off-putting that it is impossible to believe that anyone would want to be in a relationship with her. The 3 of us who watched it on Prime thought it was a waste of our time.

It was the best rom-com i have seen this year, It has the usual sappy romance and secondhand embarrassment, a lot of secondhand embarrassment but, it was also sweet, down to Earth and the aesthetically pleasing and was grounded. I don't know how to describe it but it was really nice and a representation of Toronto as a whole too cause I live in Toronto so it was actually wonderful to see. the characters really represent 2 different personality that was nice to see. Overal the move was great

Ahhh si renació el amor, ya es de mis comfort movies. Hermosisisisisisima Qué lindas las pelis strangers to lovers que se desarrollan en el transcurso de uno/dos días. Es simple, linda, con charlitas super meaningful y ellxs dos tienen una química de esas que te hacen sonreír y patalear un poquito. Que lindo que es el romance la puta madreeee. Also, a sports romance babe!!!!
