Imagine a full-grown man hanging out with a doll, and not just any doll, a lifesize one, he brings it to his family gatherings and introduced her as his girlfriend, and takes her to places he goes to. It may sound and look creepy in real life but the filmmakers who made this movie turned this piece of oddity into a quirky romantic comedy. A psychological study on man's disconnection and longing. Instead of being treated as a total freak show, his family and their entire community went along with his world until he doesn't need the doll anymore. He utilizes the doll as a way to displace his own pent up emotions. As little by little he copes up from his trauma, becomes trustful and comfortable around others, and learns to let go of what's holding him back from socializing with people. Who would have thought that a Dutch wife will be an instrumental cure to some guy's mind.

estuve con la sensación de tristeza toda la película, excelente
great film, it's just so...pleasant. i kinda expected it to be a romcom, but it turned out to be something much softer and more unusual. it’s not really “funny” in the typical sense, more like gently absurd in a way that somehow feels completely sincere. the whole film has this calm, warm, almost comforting energy to it. what really stayed with me was how the town responds to lars. there are moments where people are just sitting around, talking, and including her, even when he’s not there, simply because they know it matters to him. it’s such a quiet but powerful display of empathy and care. it’s a simple film. the kind that makes you pause and think about what it means to be understood....or at least, to be met halfway :)
