If you loved Saving Face, 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
Theysit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Saving Face, 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.
