The first time I heard about this film I wanted to see it. I liked the concept. I finally got my hands on it. It was free. That's always a bonus.
At first it seemed pretty slow and strange. I was thinking of Fargo actually during the early part.
Finally the "girl" showed up. I loved the outfit she was in. I may have a fascination for sex dolls in general. The movie picked up but was still quirky.
My husband and son were just disgusted by it when the passed through the living room. Meanwhile I was thinking, what would happen if we treated mentally ill people with kindness instead of like outcasts.
In this movie, that's what just about everyone in this small, often frozen town did. In that cold weather it was the warm accepting hearts that prevailed.
I was touched by the concept of treating mentally ill people like people which of course they are. Even more so as people we love, which many of us do.
The resolution is quite understated and lovely IMO.
Did anyone else see it?
If so, what did you think about this film?
Crud, I meant to title it Lars and the Real Girl but I can't change it now.
