Even in a perfect world . . .

Ruby Sparks

(2012)

Wow! I sure wasn't wrong about that the first time. If anything, the romcom misdirection of the first act is an even crueler joke when you know what is to come. And the puppet-on-strings scene . . . just brutal. It will forever remain a mystery to me how the Academy could have overlooked/snubbed this for screenwriting, direction, and acting nominations. This is a great film that has joined In Her Shoes as one about which I am infinitely righter than was the Acad.
