Tony Hale recommended Lars and the Real Girl (2007) in Movies (curated)

"And then I would say second would be Lars and the Real Girl by Craig Gillepsie. You read the log line and you’re like, “Huh, blow-up doll. Interesting.” But then, the whole movie is really talking about everybody’s desperate need for community. We’re not made to be isolated; we’re not made to be alone. And also how the town embraces the doll. There’s even one time when Ryan Gosling had to let the doll go, and the whole town came and sat in his living room, and they didn’t say anything. Many times, in those kinds of death scenes, people have a lot of talking, but they just kind of sat there with him. I loved that"

OK set location thriller

The trailer looked pretty good. It starts well enough but after a while suffers quite a bit in just being set pretty much in one room of the 911 operators. With most of the performances done purely by a voice over the phone. This doesn't really help in the drama stakes.
Similar in many ways to @The Call (2013) as an 911 operator takes the call of someone who has been abducted and tries his best to track them. But it just loses the intensity around half way through although there are some twists as events unravel.
