Review of Her (2013) by Bkm — 22 Jan 2014

While it's not the most daring or profound work from director Spike Jonze, Her is still a breath of creative fresh air in a generally stagnant film landscape. Phoenix gives an exceptional performance as a lonely oddball who falls in love with his software operating system, voiced by a stellar Scarlett Johansson.

Their relationship is is presented with the utmost sincerity and provides a glimpse into a future where we interact with technology more than with one another. It's a smart and thought provoking work, but a bit difficult to warm up to emotionally.
