    Sweet
    A delusional young guy (Ryan Gosling) strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet.

    I heard of this film years ago but dragged my feet because all I knew was the most basic premise, and I had no interest in a film about a man's love affair with his doll. Luckily, I gave it a shot and found out it is nothing like that (in fact, there is nothing remotely sexual in the film).

    Gosling is something of a heartthrob, so this might be considered playing against type. This is not his strongest film (perhaps that would be "Blue Valentine") but it is a good role for him, and I thoroughly enjoyed his take on a weird, introverted young man.
