This was one of the oddest story lines I've read about, and for a long time I didn't see this movie based on what the story line was about. But seeing as how I've watched a lot Ryan Gosling movies over the last few months and they've all been good, as well the movies I've seen with Emily Mortimer in them, and they've been good. I had to give this movie a shot. I'm going to tell you the basic story line and there is one thing you need to know, this movie is rated PG-13 not R despite on what the story line is going to be about.
The basic story line revolves a guy who buys a real life like sex doll and treats her like a real person. There is no sex involved in this movie and the main characters doesn't buy the doll for sex, but instead he has a deep emotional/psychological problem and he uses this doll to cope with that problem. This movie is really good as it fully explores the problem Lars has and how the doll is used to break down the barriers in his life, his brother's life, and his brother's wife's life. It's a very simple story line and movie, despite the oddest of subject matters for a foundation of the movie, but it all works and works very well. One of the best things about this movie is the representation of a small northern town where it snows as much as it shines of sun in Florida. The movie doesn't treat the people of this small town as dumb or backwards, but treats them with a lot of respect as they and the weather itself play a major role in the movie. This is a very touching, heartwarming movie as it explores the subject of relationships and people with problems. Worth watching.
