Ruby Sparks
“Ruby Sparks,” an ingenious and delightful variation on the Pygmalion myth, toys whimsically with these questions, as the initially perfect relationship between a neurotic author and his sprung-to-life fictional creation goes through changes.
“Ruby Sparks” doesn’t try to pretend to be more than it is: a sleek, beautifully written and acted romantic comedy that glides down to earth in a gently satisfying soft landing.
One of the most thoughtful, brilliant films about filmmaking in ages.
As such, "Ruby Sparks" becomes the story of what happens when a man meets his fantasy. Would his fantasy like him? It's also a story of power dynamics within a relationship. If you had the ability to control your husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend, would you use it, and how often? And if you did, where would that lead? And so a movie about the power of the imagination really becomes a movie about a certain element of surrender - about the release of power - that is practically a requirement for loving somebody.
