Lars and The Real Girl (2007) 7/10

Man falls in love with sex doll. That in a nutshell is a plot description of Lars and the Real Girl. While such a premise seems ripe for a low-brow, slapstick comedy by the Farrelly Bros, Lars and The Real Girl never descends to such a level. Instead it is a smartly crafted and often times heartwarming tale. It features a knockout performance by Ryan Gosling, already one of the top talents of his generation, with yet another Oscar calibre performance. It is a pity that Gosling seems to have been overlooked by the various awards this year but truly this is a breakthrough role for him. Together with an impressive supporting cast, especially the excellent Patricia Clarkson, Lars and the Real Girl is a film that will win your heart.
