Review of Lars and the Real Girl (2007) by Santanu M — 08 Jul 2013
One of the more fabulous and uncomfortably awkward Indies I've seen in a long time. Ryan Gosling, of course, was amazing in his stunningly accurate portrayal of Lars; a kind and gentle Haphephobic (fear of being touched) recluse.
Also giving an eye-opening performance was Paul Schneider, who played Lars' older brother Gus. Great writing, solid acting and a completely original and interesting storyline combine to deliver a film that's touching, heartfelt, emotional and extremely rewarding.
"Lars and the Real Girl" is easily worth the 106 minute sacrifice and extremely recommended.
