Review of Lars and the Real Girl (2007) by Cole B — 26 Aug 2012

This story about a guy's relationship with a mail-order mannequin could at first be construed as nothing but a comedy sketch or some 15 minute video web posting, but it's so of-the-wall and fascinating you go along with it anyway.

The film keeps rolling along at a steady pace, with the whole town pretty soon going along on the fun. Ryan Gosling can't seem to have a bad performance and this role for him should go down as one of his best.

.playing alongside a mannequin with imaginary feelings. The faces and expressions some people have about the doll are priceless. A great film.
