merelyaninnuendo Lars And The Real GirlThere have been quite a few features like such, that pitched similar concept to it and has touched viewer's heart through their non-human but equally up beating characters and this is one of them. The writing is gripping if not smart, keeping the audience engaged through its pragmatic characters that is fueled by the emotions running among them on screen and the makers being aware of it pampers the audience throughout the course of it. It is short on technical terms like sound department but is immensely pleasing on the way it is shot; the camera work is stunning, and so is costume design. Nancy Oliver's emotionally driven script is not only supported but celebrated by Craig Gillespie; the director, whose brilliant execution skills up the ante of the game. Ryan Gosling is the real game changer of the feature as it pulsates his skills on a much larger scale and flaunts it shamelessly and sweeps away most of the charm where he is supported decently by a hungry cast (Emily Mortimer and Paul Schneider) whose work is appreciative in here. Lars And The Real Girl is an authentic and heartbreaking relationship of humans surviving in a society where the softer and sweeter aspects of it is explored and encouraged in here.
jmwoodtex-344-265910 ..and I have steadfastly refused to see it since then. But I caught it on Starzz and I have absolutely fallen in love with this movie!! What a wonderful movie of love and acceptance and support and all the good feels!! The entire cast just blew me away!! What a great movie!!
adonis98-743-186503 A delusional young man strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet. Lars and the Real Girl is a weird love story and yet somehow it's so sweet, dramatic and even inspiring at times because it felt real. Ryan Gosling deserved an Oscar for his perfomance, each scene he is in he steals it he is just incredible, Emily Mortimer and Paul Schneider are also great. This is a film that lot of people won't understand that will hate it and turn it off but for those who want to see something great, something unique and beautiful go and rent it or even better? Buy it!!!
theotherrob This is my 'Go-To Movie' for finding the courage I need to get through embarrassment, or those times when I have needs that aren't being met by my self, that I cannot yet find the words or the courage (maybe both) to express so that I can get the help I need. That is what happens to Lars. Due to a traumatic loss of his parents at a young age, he cannot trust that anyone will stay, that he's safe to be a grown up now, that he has become a man. A mind-numbing routine has set in, and he isn't any closer to solving anything for himself. What he is feeling and how his mind must come to terms with what is true and real in the world are the subject of Ryan Gosling's tour-de-force performance in this courageous, life-affirming, brilliantly pitch-perfect film. A must-see for any man struggling with what it means to be a man, or to become one if you're not sure yet.
