Lars and the Real Girl
Alissa SimonWhen a socially awkward small-town bachelor introduces an anatomically correct silicone doll as his girlfriend, the local community ultimately responds with surprising compassion in Lars and the Real Girl. Helmer Craig Gillespie's sweetly off-kilter film plays like a Coen brothers riff on Garrison Keillor's "Lake Woebegone" tales, defying its lurid premise with a gentle comic drama grounded in reality. Although well-acted by a name cast, the offbeat subject matter and idiosyncratic tone make it arthouse material. Skedded for a limited release Stateside, it should have a longer life in ancillary, and could serve as a niche item for offshore distribs.

What can i say....amazing!
Watched this bored on a plane yesterday purely by chance after thinking 'this will either be horrendous or brilliant, so i'll give it 5 mins and see what happens...I gave it 5 and it held my attention, but I was still unsure...so gave it another 10...and was utterly hooked! Brimming with originality and great humour (I was laughing out loud in a plane seat!!) but also provoking emotions of sadness, pity, reflection, love and humanity. Quiet aside from the excellent storyline, you have in this film some of the best acting I have seen in ages..Ryan Gosling is jaw-droppingly excellent, and he's not the only shining star.
Watch it, watch it, watch it...
Stunning
This was possibly the sweetest flim I have ever seen without being mushy. Fabulous performances from all without exception.
Lars and the Real Girl
Claudia PuigGaffer Craig Gillespie has traveled the mileage from the inane to the heavenly in moviemaking. The director of anyone of the year's worst movies, Mr. Woodcock, has also helmed identical of the year's sweetest and most mobile, Lars and the Real Girl. At a time when idealized comedies feel to have exhausted unique ideas, along comes Lars, an authentic, amusing and honest tale precipitately written by Nancy Oliver (Six Feet Under). Ryan Gosling continues to illustrate his impressive kitchen range as Lars Lindstrom, a painfully introverted young darbies with a wearying employment job. When not working, he's eremitical, emerging only weekly to attend church services. Yet prosperously-meaning, he recoils from human contact, declining even the invitation...
Lars and the Real Girl
Kenneth TuranLars and the Real Girl is the darndest matters. Starring Ryan Gosling as the romantically challenged Lars, this is a mist whose daring and delicate commingling of apparent irreconcilables liking sweep you your feet if you're not careful. Fitted what screenwriter Nancy Oliver, Mr Big Craig Gillespie and a excellent cast compel ought to done is construct a Frank Capra-dash fable, a throwback tribute to the joys of friendship and community, around a sex toy. Taking of the most salacious items modern customs can provide as their centerpiece, they've created the sweetest, most innocent, most completely enjoyable film around. What makes this implausible deed of interminable imagination possible is how unerringly calibrated Lars' emotional effects ...
