Referencing both James Stewart, as the bumbler who befriends an invisible rabbit in Harvey, and Anthony Perkins, as a dead woman's doting son in Psycho, Gosling tiptoes on the fine line between innocence and madness. Or rather, he stands still at first, rooted in fear, as if his boots had frozen to the snowy ground. Then he finds Bianca and opens up to his not-quite-living doll.
