Purely Joyful Movie!

Perfectly adorable

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Lars, is a young man living in a tiny town somewhere in America. He is either autistic, schizoid or just plain introverted but either ways he is "different". Played astonishingly well by Ryan Gosling one day he receives a doll with whom he falls in love with. Such is his devotion that he even takes her to meet the town folks and have tea with her. This is a great, obscure film featuring a tour de force performance by Gosling. Check it out and you'll be mildly surprised.

I was suprised how can a movie with a "sex" doll can be so touching. If you look for inspirational movies with meaningful life lessons to learn, I highly recommend this. The performances are good, expecialy Ryan Gosling. Gosling as Lars, who is so lonely purchased a doll named Bianca and he forms a relationship with it. He becomes delusional and believes she's real girlfriend. Gus, Lars's brother, was freaks. But Karin, Lars's sister-in-law, urges him to calm down and deal with it, This sounds creepy, but it's not. I just love this movie!! I mean a lot!! Give it a try!!

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.
