Jill's Review

Opened January 10, 2014 in Dallas (Limited)

Starring Jessica Biel and Alfred Moiina

Emanuel, an unhappy girl who can't get past the fact that her mother died in childbirth, becomes attached to her new neighbor (Jessica Biel) and offers to babysit for her little Chloe.  She soon finds out that the neighbor's baby is actually a doll. She pretends along with the neighbor that Chloe is real because she can relate to her neighbor's despair.  Eventually, everything comes to a head and they each learn to bury the past and move forward.

The movie debuted at Sundance and is a little creepy and weird, but watchable.  It is also available on VOD so that might be your best option if you want to see it.
