Ruby Sparks (2012)

A novelist struggling with writer's block finds romance in a most unusual way: by creating a female character he thinks will love him, then willing her into existence.

Was Ruby real?

I lean towards Calvin's "dream girl" Ruby not actually existing and that any interaction between her and others was completely imagined by Calvin who is obviously gifted but Fight Club-style mentally ill. This interaction between them hinted at it:

Ruby: "Maybe I should talk to someone? you used to see someone, didn't you?"

Calvin: "Doctor Rosenthal"

Ruby: "Maybe you should go back?"

Calvin: "Thought we were talking about you?"

Ruby: "Yeah... yeah... we are."
