Top Critic
A strangely affecting romance with real heart — and another sign that Gosling is one of the best young actors around.

Top Critic Cynics might find it precious, but open-hearted audiences will love it.

Lars and the Real Girl proves love is blind - and it can be inanimate as well.

A kind of Invasion Of The Silicone Body Snatchers, this weirdly affecting tall tale is about a loony guy and his entire delusional small town falling in PG love with a certainly not politically correct but irrefutably anatomically correct, well, sex doll.

This charmer of a film is one that you will never forget. It's funny, overtly moving and uplifting. I want to see it again

while without question funny at times (and sad at others), [it is] never mocking, degrading or lewd - a true miracle for a film about one man's relationship with a sex doll

The speech Gus gives his pregnant wife, Karin, about letting Lars live in the garage and become what he is deserves more recognition than many of the performances up for Academy Awards.

As sweet a portrait of small town life as you are ever likely to see.

Weird on paper, strangely and sweetly affecting onscreen. See it. You won't regret it.

One of the best films of the year about the love, kindness, and hospitality of a Christian community for a lost and lonely soul.

Craig Gillespie's 'Lars and the Real Girl' Is an Off-Beat, '70s-Like Charmer that Could Have Been the Third Side of a Bud Cort Trilogy

What an original idea - and what a direction to take it. The movie captures the feeling of a small town while the story captures your heart.

Under Mr. Gillespie’s admirably directed seriousness of tone, the performers, particularly Mr. Gosling, Ms. Mortimer, Mr. Schneider, Ms. Clarkson, Ms. Gardner and Mr. Reid, never miss a beat.

Lars and the Real Girl could have felt overly precious, like a cheap stunt or joke, but the emotional depth and warmth make this quirky regional character study anything but plastic.

[A] perfect movie in all ways: it's far more inventive and adventurous than most movies dare, it's perfectly realized in all its many small details...
