Movie Review - Lars and the Real Girl


Lars and the Real Girl (2007)
Director: Craig Gillespie
Actors: Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider

What an interesting and creative film. This is the story of an awkwardly shy young man who finds love in an unexpected place; a sex doll purchased on the internet. Although not a conventional relationship, the small town goes along with the delusion in hopes of bringing some peace to his life. I found myself engaged and entertained the whole way through. One of the highlights is an amazing acting performance by Ryan Gosling. It can't be easy pretending to be in love with a plastic sex doll with that big open mouth staring back at you. I'd definitely recommend this film.
