Lars and the Real Girl (2007)

★★★★½

Fantastic. What a concept for a film. When Ann recommended it to me, she said, "Don't read the Netflix synopsis, just watch it." But I couldn't help myself, I read the Netflix DVD sleeve. And I thought, "What kind of movie is this?!?!" While factually correct, it's a bit misleading. With down-to-earth portrayals of small town denizens, it's heartwarming, uplifting, and rekindles your faith in society's capacity for compassion. My only gripe: I wish the resolution had been tied to the birth of the baby.
