If you loved Million Dollar Arm, try Lars and the Real Girl

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Craig Gillespie, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Million Dollar Arm, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Lars and the Real Girl is

Small town, frozen lake, a wheelchair abandoned. A recluse with a life-size doll, his family caught between concern and kindness. Craig Gillespie's nuanced touch makes this oddness strangely relatable.
