Freddie and the Real Review

Ryan Gosling can almost never do any wrong. He did an excellent job with the character in this movie. The supporting cast also did a great job. There was a lot of dry humor as well as saddness. I think it was a little crazy that the whole town started treating the doll like it was real even when Lars wasn't around, but it was still good. I think I saw a lifetime movie with something similar. Except instead of an a man being in love with a doll, it was a woman and an imaginary son. Same ending too, ((SPOILER)) got sick...died. So, I don't know if the idea was completely original, but what is nowadways anyway. This was good stuff though.
