share much in common: an outcast protagonist, ineffectual grown-ups,
visually stunning riffs on the supernatural.
In this appealing indie rom-com, a novelist’s girl of his dreams springs from the page to a real person.

In Ruby Sparks, wunderkind author Calvin Weir-Fields (Paul Dano, There Will Be Blood)
has a few problems — one being that he is dateless, another that his
