A Major Disappointment
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
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!!!
It is a low budget movie and I feel it originated from the idea of doing something strange for the hell of it. With more research and more seriousness to the approach, this could have been done so much better. But I think the attempt deserves respect anyway. I like odd movies if they have some truth to them, and this one does.If you keep the preconception that it is not meant to be funny, you will enjoy the movie more. It's not fair or right to laugh about an ill person, is it? Where the movie becomes silly and funny, that is where the movie fails.
Completely unexpected treasure. Thrown back into the golden age of cinema. Modern films rely on CGI pow pow no true story or depth but this is dripping in depth. Relies completely on acting and the story layed bare. Its an alice in wonderland experience of a fragile mind. The experience is like toothache for the brains its so raw you can see awkwardness expressed in a whole new way. Acted so well by all, the embarrassment is truly experienced. Good films don't just take you on a journey your meant to truly experience an emotion empathy and this low budget does it effortlessly. I truly think we are heading in a new direction in film bringing back true values.
Actually, I have to say that the sounds effect,the cinematography and also the editing is not extremely great, but the plot and the actors & actress are really really good, especially the sister-in-law of the main character. I really love the scene in which that sister-in-law yell at Lars and told him how everybody cares about him. It's really emotional and touches our heart. Some.. oh no, all the characters in this movie is so damn cute which makes it.. unreal. It seems like all the best people in the world get around Lars.. In general, I really love the plot! Such a nice plot which we could hardly guess the ending. The movie has many funny scenes which also makes us thinking a lot.
