Zoe KAZAN is smart to realize that if you want to introduce yourself to the world with a bang, write your own movie, play the lead actress—and succeed in showing what you can do. Ruby Sparks is Pygmalion done as an intelligent, funny commentary on the advantages and disadvantages of wish fulfillment in regard to your significant other. The one-liners are as good as anything in Juno, a previous role of Paul Dano—the male lead and Zoe Kazan’s real-life partner. To quote Truman Capote, “More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.” My favorite movie of 2012 thus far, just as clever, maybe less moving than Beginners—my favorite movie of 2011.
