To me, this movie is perfection.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Stranger than Fiction is a good film with a quirky synopsis. An auditor suddenly finds a female narrating his every move. After getting accustomed to it he is given a jolting prediction- that he is soon to die, which understandably freaks him out. Trying to make sense he goes around to people which form the body of the film. This is a thought provoking movie with a fine turn by Will Ferrell as the lead who hears his life narration- an uncharacteristic foray into serious acting by the comedian. Emma Thomson lends her lush voice as the narrator. For an offbeat film with a soul you cannot go wrong with Stranger than Fiction.

Harika ve enteresan bir eser herkesin izlemesi gerektigini dusunuyorum.

This is exactly the kind of story I would write if I was a screenwriter! Just like Ruby Sparks (2012) by Zoe Kazan (yes, she's the granddaughter of great Elia Kazan). Actually when I was younger I loved try and write something and one of the story, never finished to say the truth, was about a character who realizes he is fictional. This movie is perfect. I love Emma Thompson, since I first saw her acting in 1989 Tall Guy (higly recommended): she his one of my favorite actress.And I love Will Ferrel, too. One of my favorites is Land of the Lost (2009), a movie that look like the plot was written by sci fi writers Robert Sheckley and Douglas Adams together!I love this movie so much that I want to watch it again in the original version, you know: here in Italy they distribute just dubbed movies. Fortunately DVD prices have had a vertical collapse from 30 to 4.99 euros and less!Long life to Internet streaming if this is the reason for prices reduction:)

If you haven't seen it, you are in for a treat. Don't read any spoilers, just see it. I've seen it several times and it never gets old. It is a fabulous movie and I don't want to ruin it by saying anything. I give it my highest rating which means it could not be improved.Perfect casting, acting, plot, suspense, comedy, drama, music. Stunningly good. There are so many bland, offensive, or unwatchable comedies out there. This is not one of those. This is a masterpiece. It has tremendous heart.
