Lars and the Real Girl

CriticsCritics: 76
AudienceAudience: 7.5

An extremely shy young man struggles to connect with others until he announces that he has found a girlfriend online: a life-size plastic woman. With guidance from a compassionate doctor, his concerned family and small-town community play along, creating an unusual path toward connection and healing.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy gentle, unconventional stories about loneliness, acceptance, and community, with a balance of awkward humor and heartfelt drama; Not for you if you want a conventional comedy or fast pace.
