Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Thomas Drufke There may not be a modern day couple that I adore more than Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan. Weird to say, especially since I never find myself scouring the trades for their relationship updates or paparazzi photos. It's more so an adoration for their work on screen. Everything from Dano's turns in There Will Be Blood and Prisoners, to Zoe's work in The Big Sick and Our Brand is Crisis. And of course, their work together in Ruby Sparks, Meek's Cutoff (which I have admittedly yet to see), and upcoming film Wildlife. I'm not sure there's a more critically acclaimed working couple on screen.Ruby Sparks is one of those weird films that I've had to sit on for about a week. Dano plays a successful novelist who is going through a bout of writer's block when he finds a character he created has crept her way into his real life, the catch being that everything he writes about her personality and character decisions is exactly the way she acts in real life. Is she real or is this a girl from his dreams that he's hallucinating? Well, that gets answered relatively fast and the result brings heart wrenching drama and a fascinating tale of obsession, controlling behavior, and to tread carefully on how you put someone up to a pedestal. Romantic-comedy-dramas that take chances are always going to be on my good side. I immediately think of 500 Days of Summer, When Harry Met Sally, The Spectacular Now, The Big Sick, Paper Towns, La La Land, Man Up, and The Before Trilogy. All in different ways present a non-cliched representation of a romance. Ruby Sparks may not ultimately be as good as any of those films, but it took chances and provided thought provoking commentary for an otherwise paint by numbers genre.Besides all of the interesting plot and character choices, there's some really powerful performances here. Annette Bening, Antonio Banderas, Steve Coogan, Chris Messina, and Deborah Ann Woll all do great work in bit roles. Kazan and Dano, however, are in an entirely different league. You can clearly see the chemistry the two have off screen plays well into their on screen turns as well. And one thing I noticed about Kazan's work, particularly for this character, is how much she channeled her inner Audrey Hepburn. I was about to write this in my notes and then boom, we see both of their characters watching Sabrina, a classic Hepburn film. A sort of creepy but fascinatingly unique romantic story is what makes Ruby Sparks work so well. I more than recommend this to those interested in original filmmaking.8.6/10

Easha Habib This movie seemed like a funny, carefree comedy, yet went so much deeper as it moved on. A must watch, in my opinion as it pulled off everything so smoothly. The movie feels enough to take you to another dimension and then roller coast you to dark depths. The different emotions would keep your eyes glued to the screen. Now you may watch it, as my expert opinion allows it.

yea boiiiiiiiiii Ruby Sparks: wonderfully imaginative concept, not so wonderful execution. I walked into watching this movie with the expectation of being enriched afterwords; my hopes were high. After reading a short summary, I loved the overall idea and character of Ruby Sparks, a woman who is literally created by an author with writer's block, and presumably, is said author's love interest throughout the movie. The film makes you laugh, cry, and paints a beautiful picture of passion and internal conflict. However, I found myself unsatisfied with several aspects of it, including the ending. I tried really hard to like the movie, and did in fact enjoy many fragments of it. But as a whole, would not want to watch it again. It definitely presents intriguing ideas, questions, moral issues, and is considerably heavy at times, but to reiterate, something just didn't click. So although I applaud the acting and thought, by the end it left me with feeling like I wished it would have been better.

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Ruby Sparks" (2012) is both intriguing, a bit fresh and very well made romantic drama with some fantasy elements. Script was very interesting, the premise turned out to be better than expected. Acting was good by all involved, i wish there would have been more scenes with Annette Bening and Antonio Banderas characters, they both had excellent cameos (yes, unfortunately they were to short to call them a real performances) - terrific sequence at the middle within Calvin's mom's house. Overall, "Ruby Sparks" is a intriguing and a bit surprising movie. I really didn't expect it to be so good. Basicaly the best parts of it were it's unpredictability. When you start to think that you know in what direction this movie will go, it surprises you, and that's a very rare in these days cinema. "Ruby Sparks" is surely not to be missed.
