I Done Seen It: "Lars and the Real Girl"



This is getting ridiculous. Soon enough, Ryan Gosling is gonna have more classics than Jay-Z.

Lars and the Real girl tells the sweet story of a loner who orders a "love doll" and trots her around town as his girlfriend. The entire community falls in love with the fake plastic girl named Biance as well, surprisingly taking her, and Lars, under their wing. And all this is accomplished without coming off as creepy or ridiculous. How amazing the Gosling is indeed.

The film is filled with metaphors, life lessons, and layer upon layer of "Oh I get it, this stands for this, and so and so feels like this because of this." Though the premise is a tricky one to achieve and be taken seriously, trust that here, it is done so with artistic perfection. Granted, it is kinda weird, but throughout the course of the film, you find yourself transfixed and believing. Bianca's real not just to Lars, but anybody who feels like something is missing.

This film appeals to anyone who's lost someone they loved, who doesn't fit in, or is a fan of the Gosling.

9.5/10!
