11.23.07Regal Arbor severe introvert buys a Real Doll and treats her like she's alive; town plays along. The premise could really go in any direction but Ryan Gosling gets all actor-y and cries a lot so it's a pretty sad portrait of someone struggling with heavy issues. There's a bit of humor thrown in due to the premise itself but in the end it's kinda heartwarming and string-pulling and stuff.

I thought it would've been awesome if he got really mad at the doll and killed it by chopping her up and then there'd be a whole murder investigation Twin Peaks style but... he didn't do that.
