Lars and the real girl

Watched an absolutely beautiful film last night called Lars and the real girl.

Initially I was very apprehensive, the films premise really does not fit in with the fact that I find it very difficult to watch embarrassing situations. In fact, I nearly had to turn it off in the scene where the "real girl" was about to make it's first appearance, the director having brilliantly drawn out the moment for as long as possible.

So yeah... it's a film about a strange introverted bloke with a full-blown mental delusion that his real doll is a real person who's in love with him. [WARNING :- link contains pictures of fake boobies]. How a film with this premise manages to be one of the most touching and wonderful films about community and friendship I've ever seen, rather than a crass smut-filled comedy disaster, is testament to the incredible job done by everyone involved, especially the actor playing Lars.

Honestly, don't let the premise stop you. You need to see this film!
