Viewing Notes

Via Netflix

When a delusional loner buys a sex doll and starts telling people that she’s his girlfriend, his family decides to intervene. This was a lot cuter and also more heartbreaking than I thought it would be.  Gosling is fantastic in this as Lars and I found it charming and was at least amused as it went.  There are a few good laughs but this was more of a smile along kind of film for me comedy wise.
