Summary
After a devastating car accident leaves her family shattered and her body in a coma, talented teenage cellist Mia Hall finds herself in an out-of-body state, watching as friends and loved ones gather at the hospital. As she drifts between memories of her rock-musician boyfriend Adam and her close-knit family, Mia must make the ultimate choice: fight to stay alive or let go.
If I Stay is a 2014 comedy, drama and fantasy film.
13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 839 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 134 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 140 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where If I Stay lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 134.
