craig gillespie's quirky love story sees ryan gosling playing a very different role to that of his previous turn in 2007's "half nelson". lars is a man with relationship/intimacy/social issues, who, with the help of the titular 'real' girl finds a way of dealing with his problems.
i found "lars and the real girl" to be incredibly moving, much moreso than expected. gosling is an absolute revelation as the shy and withdrawn lars, not that his capability as an actor was ever in question, i feel that he is perhaps the finest young actor of his generation.
