What happens when you give a FilmStruck subscription to an inveterate writer of Shakespearean sonnets?

Craig Gillespie's LARS AND THE REAL GIRL (2007)
A fantasy of kindness and support,
Of just the type that anyone would crave;
So fun to watch a quirky heartthrob court
A paracoita doll, a thing, a slave.
But nat'urally that's not what it's about.
Strange wounds sometimes, or always, do require
Strange medicines and gestures that would flout
Convention. Ev'ryone's sometimes a liar
To spare another's grief, fragility
Or naked need. Here, Ryan Gosling and
A cast of less-known colleages let this be
That simple. Moments breathe and tableaux stand.
Impossible! But movies partly let
Us dream of better. Best we don't forget.
