Duke is now home to the private writings of one of the twentieth century’s most unique and active religious figures.
There’s nothing particularly groundbreaking about Ruby Sparks’ premise, but it’s still a pleasant confection of a movie with some interesting food for thought. Calvin (Paul Dano), a novelist and neurotic former teenage prodigy, is concerned that his glory days are far behind him. After his therapist (Elliott Gould) proposes a writing exercise, a literal dream girl (Zoe Kazan) named Ruby Sparks takes root in Calvin’s mind. In a strange and miraculous turn of events, Ruby manifests as a flesh-and-blood girl living in Calvin’s apartment and unaware of her origins on the page or of the strange power her “boyfriend” wields over her.
