Lars and the Real Girl
A socially avoidant man haunted by his mother’s death must confront his crippling fear of touch when his pregnant sister‑in‑law moves into the family home, forcing him to protect both his loved ones and their shared legacy.
“The search for true love begins outside the box.”
Synopsis
Lars, a deeply shy man, struggles with making friends and engaging in social interactions. His brother and sister-in-law are concerned about his isolation, so when Lars reveals that he has found a girlfriend online, they are relieved. However, the girlfriend is a life-sized plastic figure. Following the recommendation of a doctor, Lars' family and the local community decide to support his delusion.

A crew of 45+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
