Lars and the Real Girl (2007 Craig Gillespie)

Nancy Oliver's screenplay is about what would happen if an entire community supported someone with a mental problem, and it's very successful. Ryan Gosling is really good and rather sweet as said guy, Paul Schneider (Cafe Society, Elizabethtown, Parks and Recreation, Away We Go) and Emily Mortimer are his family, Patricia Clarkson the doctor. I wasn't able to ascertain who played Bianca (the 'real girl') so well, though apparently she coached Gemma Chan for Humans.

Good music from David Torn. Shot by Adam Kimmel. Oliver worked as a writer on Six Feet Under.
