You will not find a more compassionate movie involving a sex doll.
Lars Lindstrom is a quiet, introverted, polite, likeable loner, who lives in the garage of his family home. As the movie unfolds you find out that Lars suffered from a traumatic childhood, which has led him into his shell. Lars’ situation is brought to a head as his brother and sister-in-law are expecting.
To deal with his situation, Lars decides to buy a Love Doll and treat her as his real life girlfriend, Bianca. This is where the story starts to warm your heart as the whole town, led by the always spectacular Patricia Clarkson (see the Station Agent for one of her best performances) as the town doc/psychologist rally to support Lars.
In addition to Clarkson’s performance, Ryan Gosling shows he isn’t just a hunk as he delivers a stunning performance as Lars. Kelli Garner also shines as the ‘Real Girl’.
We laughed and felt good about humanity as were are reminded of what is important in life.
Enjoy
