ENCHANTING
Rarely does one enter a movie theater with such low expectations and come out the other side feeling that their time was well spent, their life richer for having had the experience. This is a marvelous, whimsical and enchanting movie. The writing is economical but spot on perfect; the acting, particularly by Mr. Gosling, is as good as it gets; he deserves recognition come Oscar time. The supporting cast is also terrific. I especially enjoyed the lovely Emily Mortimer (also endearing in "Match Point"). What could have been a total misfire (the notion of passing a sex doll off as a real person), instead comes across as an imaginative, sweet and thoughtful study of human nature and what it truly means to love.
