This film was such a little pleasure. From the way the entire town started to embrace Bianca and adopted her because of their love for Lars to the many costume changes (where was a costume nod for this?) It's difficult to capture an authentic contemporary Midwestern style of dress without veering into parody and I felt like that was achieved here (along with some nice touches, such as the blanket his dead mother had made that Lars used as a scarf).
Ryan Gosling is in that "Heath Ledger" vein of acting. He seems to really get inside the minds of these characters and the performances, therefore, feel really lived in.
Lars is one of those movies with a special intensity that make me vibrate.
