His motto: "I see bad movies so you don't have to."A tender stunner movie
Its man-loves-mannequin story requires a mild suspension of belief, but Ryan Gosling’s disarming portrayal and a story that never once goes for cheap humor give this film that rare laughter-through-the tears-power punch. Weird on paper, strangely and sweetly affecting onscreen. See it. You won’t regret it.
Grade: A-
