Consensus: Lars and the Real Girl could've so easily been a one-joke movie. But the talented cast, a great script, and direction never condescends to its character or the audience.

A delusional but sweet psychological drama about a young man treated for a bizarre delusional disorder with unconditional love. Full Review |

 2.5/4 |
Overall, an imperfect gem. In its successful attempt to go for the heart, "Lars and the Real Girl" stumbles a bit. I would have cast Michael Cera in the lead role. Full Review |

No es una gran película, pero sí una historia original que logra llegar a buen puerto y hasta conmovernos. Estupenda labor de Ryan Gosling. Full Review |

This script by Nancy Oliver (Six Feet Under) is a delicate, bittersweet, and often sad story of a lost, fragile man and the people who love him. Full Review |

|
7/10 |
A plea for compassion and understanding; its lack of the negative side of human nature almost makes it seem desperate in that regard, but overall it's deft at achieving its goal. Full Review |

3/5 |
It's a movie driving in neutral. It never really gets as clever, as emotional or as funny as I wanted it too. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/4 |
The story may sound intolerably precious, but 'Lars and the Real Girl' is disarmingly sweet and quietly affecting. Full Review |

3/4 |
Lars and the Real Girl proves love is blind - and it can be inanimate as well. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |
a strange flick Full Review |

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. Full Review |

A strangely affecting romance with real heart — and another sign that Gosling is one of the best young actors around. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Sweet and honest, but not much more. Full Review |

|
|
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 Full Review |
