Director : Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris
Running Time : 105 mins
Struggling writer Calvin Weir-Fields (Dano) has a bad case of writer’s block so he draws on a vision of a girl he saw in a dream to help him with his creative process. As he writes, he finds himself wanting more and more to spend time with his creation, Ruby Sparks (Kazan), until one day he wakes up and finds his fictional characters in his house. He thinks he’s gone insane, until he realises that other people can see her too.
I can’t quite say why but I absolutely loved this movie. At no point are we meant to feel sorry for the friendless, loveless writer who somehow creates his perfect women then tries to change her to make her more perfect and only succeeds in losing her unique qualities and forcing her into what is basically a slave, but this doesn’t stop the movie from being thought provoking and entertaining. Kazan is wonderful as Ruby, with Dano as Calvin putting in a believable and interesting performance.
