This was a really really great movie. It is Spike Jonze, so yeah, of course it's weird, of course it's depressing, and while some wont be able to stand his style of humor, Her is a very well made film all around. Good directing and downright excellent writing from Jonze, a good music score and awesome cinematography and acting. It's a man and a computer, but so what. It's a very good movie about a depressed man trying to find himself and it delivers a great message on modern love. SJs best work.

Sweet and emotional. The type of science fiction that I love: Jonze picks up on trends in our society that we're all subjected to to some extent - then he extrapolates. The near-future he imagines is believable and food for thought, and the way he treats his subjects, love and connection, commendably nuanced. Add award-worthy acting, beautiful photography and a score by Arcade Fire and the result is, well, wonderful. This should prove a contemporary classic, and one that I plan to revisit often.

Points to a future where technology has surpassed its creators, for better and worse, while affirming the beauty of humanity and of corporeal existence. When Theo asks Samantha why she makes breathing sounds, it's a stark reminder that her lovability is rooted in her human-ness; nobody wants to fuck Stephen Hawking's voicebox. And AI can never do something as simple yet amazing as put its head on your shoulder. Poignant, ambitious, thoughtful, and beautiful; a masterpiece of craft and emotion.

Things I never thought I'd do: punch a billionnaire in the ear. Get airdropped into a volcano. Find a bag of mint He-Man 80's action figures. Cry in a movie theatre. Well, after seeing Her, I got to cross one of those things off my list! (Warning: it's not any of the cool ones. I'll be sitting in this corner, ashamed. Playing with this Skeletor.)

Aspires to say something deep about love and computers and humanity in the virtual age, but doesn't even get off the ground. Instead of tackling the difficult subject of the extent to which a computer may humanize, it cuts-and-pastes a generic female character out of cheesy rom-coms and computerizes it, which really just defeats the purpose. Never for a second is Scarlett Johansson convincing as an O.S. The whole thing is both extremely tacky and pretentious.

A melding of genres, mostly sci-fi & romance, this is an examination of the human condition & our increasing fascination with, & dependence on, technology. The premise seems entirely plausible in the coming years. Are we so obsessed with convenience that we've forgotten how to be human? Mankind wants to create artificial intelligence in its own image, but what happens when its capacity surpasses our own? Joaquin is sensational, his range is enormous. This may go down as Spike Jonze's masterwork.

Unique movie. Joaquin Phoenix is surprisingly good. I really liked Scarlett Johansson's soft sultry voice. Amy Adams has never been more beautiful. Olivia Wild was also sexy in her brief cameo. When humanity can finally mate this type of computer intelligence with a soft pretty robot body it'll be the end of human relationships. Heady and thought provoking. Slow deliberate pace. However, I did not like the abrupt and rather cheap ending.

The best movie of 2013 to feature a single personal pronoun as its title (light-years beyond both Bollywood's "You" and the disappointing Elizabethan space opera, "We"). Felt a lot like a Black Mirror episode, but with less crushing disappointment about never being able to masturbate again without a full re-cap being flicked onto the big-screen at my workmate's hummus & absinthe party.

In one sense a piece of science fiction fraught w/ the usual, if compelling, fundamental existential questions -- What does it mean to be human, particularly at the point where our experiences of reality have become inextricably mediated by technology? -- but, at the same time, it uncompromisingly dissects romantic relationships: how relationships foster growth and joy and, simultaneously, divorce and alienation and solitude. That they limit and push people -- and how that, in the end, is maybe OK.

What love story can be more basic and uncomplicated than simply a voice in your head? Yet, Spike Jonze gives an incredible ebb and flow of a relationship that is complex and probably very familiar to all of us. Its smart, personal, and gorgeous in its photography. Of course, none of this would work without absolutely masterful performances by Johansson and Phoenix. 2013's masterpiece.

There are two reasons why I love this film: 1) It's undeniably funny. Employing an absurd, but well-written plot to take us on a journey with idiosyncratic characters that you just have to admire (got to love Joaquin's moustache). 2) It's a valuable exploration of the state of modern-day human relationships. The film is set in a near distant future, but feels close, in a very scary way. I hope it wins best script-oscar.

Spike Jonze elegantly and effortlessly tackles a myriad of themes here; following the growing isolation that is dependent on accelerating technological advances, alongside the complex contradictions of humanity. This is a story about the human experiment surpassing the human, tracing definitions of consciousness and questions of what will evolve from us? The cast, dialogue, photography, score... sublime and profound. A masterpiece in cinematic storytelling.

Jonze's poignantly prophetic near-future world is thoughtfully crafted, as the story subtly showcases its cultural milieu (see the letter writing job, voice-activated tech) and gorgeous, washed-out cinematography captures its streamlined urban isolation. The tenderness and tragedy of the central relationship (Phoenix and Johansson excel), meanwhile, offers more technological intrigue (Samantha's development is fascinating-almost terrifying) while delicately examining the constructs of love.

"Her" is Emotionally sophisticated and Visually absorbing. a strange wonderful tale between a man and computer that is genuinely heartfelt and passionately imaginative. Spike Jonze has achieve tremendously not only because of his artistic brilliance, but also his ability to envision the future of human relationship with technology as well as re-evaluate the fundamental aspect of human emotion. it is such an impressive feat that it could already be counted as a modern classics in years to come.

For such a weird and off kilter premise (that a man can fall in love with a computer) this film not only makes you believe it, but also lets you become a part of that relationship. It's also a great social commentary of where society might be headed in a few short years. What I was really impressed with was learning that Scarlett Johansson was not the original voice of Samantha and only recorded her dialogue after the film had wrapped production.

Everything, from the acting, to the cinematography, to voice work, feels incredibly... soulful (for lack of a better word). The film covers a remarkable amount of ground both in sci-fi speculation and a study of relationships, and does so effortlessly and beautifully. It didn't affect me as deeply as the comparable but utterly distinct Eternal Sunshine, but I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up in my favorites of all time after a rewatch.

By itself, the plot was enough to make this a really cool movie. Each time you start to get used to something, it takes another step forward. Each step is interesting and the natural progression, even though you (read me) didn't see it coming too far ahead of time. The deep meditation on so many themes, and done so successfully, made this truly exceptional.

One observation: Our society is outscourcing it's feelings, cause in the end they are money too. From the acting to the clothes, the interior design (the video-games!) and the Operating System. But the amazing Olivia-Wilde-Sequenz shows how stupid we all are and how brutal this can be. But in the context of this movie our stupidity is all that capitalism won't take away from us. And maybe this where great, timeless art begins: Having a precise, perhaps tender view on our innateness inabilitys.

Poignant and meditative, Her is the most fascinating Romance film since... Eternal Sunshine I guess.

The most amazing thing to me is how genuine Jonze makes this world feel, but also how genuine Phoenix makes the relationship with an OS feel. It easily feels like it's our near future, thanks in large part to the brilliant cinematography and set design. The settings and gadgets (and video games!) all blend wonderfully, making moments like the admission of dating an OS appear seamlessly believable.

It's amazing how one of the most well-realized, charming, memorable characters in recent film is a freaking operating system, of all things. If they gave Oscars for voice acting, Scarlett Johansson would have won it in just about any year for her marvelous performance here. I expected to come out of this thinking "this will be dated in five years," but it was about so much more than just the technology; it's a film about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. It hits hard. Just loved it.

so this is what having a long distance relationship with scarlett johansson feels like. "her" is a good introspective into the desire for companionship clashing with unreasonable expectations. the artificial element is assumed to act as a solution, but its clever evolvement shows the futility of holding on to a wrong sense of perfection. it's also a vision of where we might end up if we continue to try and make technology an entity rather than keep it a tool. in other words: don't date robots!

It's full of relatable, human moments as well as clever insights about the future and technology. Phoenix is brilliant. Johansson is amazing, completely evoking a character with only a voice. The cinematography was beautiful too. It avoided falling into the cliches it easily could have. I'm not sure everyone would like it, but I'd say it's definitely worth a watch.

I saw this coming -- people (not just Theo, as loners in the streets interacting with themselves show us) try to replace people with uncomplicated softwares that evolve like we evolve, are left by them and learn to deal with people (from past, present and future) again. To fall in love with a voice in a computer feels genuine, of course -- but he/she will talk to 8 thousand dudes/chicks and sleeps with 600 of them. This is sweet -- thanks to Phoenix --, but I'd rather stick to Weird Science.

Even though one of them aren't on screen, Phoenix and Johansson have the best on screen chemistry I have seen in a while. My only objection is that if you take away the sci-fi part it's a very basic love story. Looking beyond that it's a good romantic movie. I am however a bit miffed about the double standard though. When Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with a computer it's a great love story, but when I touch myself while talking to my iPhone I'm weeeeeeird...

Jonze evidently learnt much about writing from Kaufman, imbuing a high concept (and sci-fi inflected) premise with an unbelievable amount of depth and wisdom. This is a melancholy and quietly profound work about many things, including the nature of love and the prominence of technology in our lives (while thankfully never falling into "this is nuts!" jokiness). Phoenix does wonderfully restrained work and Johansson gives more humanity to Samantha than most films give to their human characters.

Jonze examines human relationships in a way only Jonze can. Jonze's first original work without Charlie Kuafman benefits the grounded nature of the content Kaufman's surrealism can often lose sight of.

What sets Her apart is Spike Jonze's direction and writing. Instead of crafting a mockery of technology, he makes Theodore's relationship with Sam incredibly believable and natural. Jonze also incorporates a lot of wittiness when it helps so the entire film isn't completely depressing. Joaquin Phoenix turns in a fantastic performance as Theodore, and Amy Adams and Scarlett Johannson are also allowed to show their versatility. This is both a great piece of social commentary and art.

Movies like 'Before Sunrise' freak me out, not because they are bad, but because the naturalist aspect attributed to them is only attributed precisely because of a certain fakeness to them; crafted situations in which an imperfection is, as style, precisely the content of that moment. In 'Her' we see someone writing love notes for others also be the recipient of a mass-marketed crafted love, which creates a delusion-sustaining mesh that atomizes us.

It's been a bit since I've seen such deeply human and soulful sci-fi. Not that it's necessarily been lacking, but it's been missing from my viewing experience. There's been some that has been touching and meaningful, but this felt really intimate and close, a man's story that relates to humanity rather than a man's story ABOUT humanity. I don't know. There's a smallness to this that made it that much bigger.

I realise this was Theo's story, but I felt little connection with him as a entity & as such couldn't help my mind wandering to the larger sociological issues behind the fascinating, & tantalisingly near-future concepts that "Her" plays with. I'm sure that wasn't Jonze's intention, at least not directly, but it's probably why as much as I really liked this, I'm not sure I'll ever love it. Theo's relationship with his ex-wife was the hinge this move hung on for me. It was beautifully judged.

It establishes a great sci-fi world, accomplishing a lot with very little. It's great because there are lots of directions it could go, but it doesn't really take any obvious route. The main character dating an OS isn't played as some flaw for him to overcome, or turn out to be his downfall or anything. The AI doesn't become self-aware and turn evil. They could have glanced over the sci-fi elements with some really trite cliches, but there was some definite effort put into the world building

As a huge Spike Jonze fan coming in, I was not disappointed. It is beautifully filmed, and written. The performances as an ensemble was the best of 2013 (from what I have seen so far) and I loved the score. It's crowning achievement is how very possible this all seemed, and what it says about ourselves and our interactions with both technology and our fellow man. The only flaw I really had was it did seem a bit overlong at times, however this does not interfere with the flow much, so forgivable.

It gets awkward. Which is perfect because it's life, and life isn't... graceful. There's a dystopian underlay within a very realistic near-future, and that SHOULD make us uncomfortable. But you can go in a split-second from that to uproarious laughter and back. This movie COMMANDS your emotions. Time moves effortlessly. It isn't perfect; at times their relationship is hard to suspend disbelief for or feels a little convenient, and Mara is underused (and a total cunt). But exciting to experience.

Eternal Sunshine this is not. Imagine if you will, that film. Now suck (nearly) all of the humour away from it, and you have "Her". I found it overly-serious for my tastes. After the initial set up, it's kind of like watching a guy on the phone with his long-distance girlfriend for 2 hours.

Amy Adams's idea for a documentary is so atrocious that it slingshots beyond "so bad it's good" and lands somewhere around "am I looking at a blank canvas or is this abstract art?" She creates something that is simultaneously the most and least artful thing ever committed to film. Just the way she had her arms crossed thoughtfully while watching it had me scream-laughing inconsolably.

The best film of the year so far, and my favorite 'romance' movie. Never puts a foot wrong, despite being maybe 15 minutes too long. Works on a lot of levels, but I enjoyed it as a satire of the usual romantic cliches; the film goes through the usual tropes of the genre in it's own way whilst also having a lot to say about relationships and technology. Also, how amazing is Phoenix? The man had to turn down Olivia Wilde. Now THAT'S acting.

One of the realest visions of the immediate future you're going to see, from the fashion to the technology that you can see the roots of today. Deals with the idea of isolationism from society due to technology. Phoenix and Johansson are great "together."

While I've enjoyed Spike Jonze's films, I've always found them to be slightly off the mark for me. That's occasionally the case with her as well, but I do feel like this is easily the closest I've come to complete satisfaction from a Jonze film. Maybe in part because I'm completely charmed by this kind of sci-fi premise (even if it doesn't seem fully plausible all of the time). Phoenix is phenomenal, and Amy Adams with bushy hair and sweater many sizes too big is my dream girl.

What makes Phoenix's essentially generic personality fall in love w/ an A.I. with the personality of a generic co-ed? Lazy montages? Why does it take her until the last 20 minutes to start behaving like the sentient program she is - 1 w/ virtually instantaneous access to every fact/video clip ever uploaded? Why does a beach visit induce such wonder & navel-gazing? No youtube? Why r critics swooning over conversations that r as sophomoric & familiar as Before Sunrise's were revealing & absorbing?

Spike Jonze's mind is a pretty great thing, and I consistently feel privileged to witness its output. His knack for articulating human feelings about our interrelationships is unparalleled. Here we also get some extraordinary future concepts that really get the imagination humming. Phoenix is superb here, as is the music. My only complaint, if you can even call it that, is that the movie hits the "introspectively sentimental" note just a little too hard, especially in the final act.

There are so many ways in which this film could have gone horribly wrong, but Spike Jonze's construction of this world, as well as his careful consideration of tone, turns this into a genuine masterpiece. I especially loved the design of this semi-futuristic society, and the performances are, obviously, fantastic. (two times)

It's an undeniably superlative piece of filmmaking - Hoyte Van Hoytema's cinematography is especially accomplished and has me excited to see anything he photographs from here on out. The story and performances and all that are very well-calibrated. However, I couldn't entirely get past the fact that the soft-voiced, pedo-stache'd, beta male Theodore Twombly really, really had me wanting to put on a letterman jacket and give him a swirly.

A lonely, confused man who writes letters for other people (Joaquin Phoenix) buys a sentient operating system (voiced by Scarlett Johansson) with whom he begins to fall in love. Behind the science-fiction premise is a sweet, funny, touching exploration of the difficulties of beginning and maintaining a relationship. Spike Jonze's script and direction are wonderful, and Phoenix is a bull's-eye, with Johansson and Amy Adams turning in fine work as well. Sublimely made; lovely score by Arcade Fire.

Incredibly funny without being condescending to any of its characters, which is impressive given the subject matter. It was a very good look at isolation as well, both on a personal level and a societal level, though I would have liked a bit more complexity in that aspect.

Loneliness strikes all of us. It is agonizing and personal. It can be shaken only to return a moment later like a punch in the stomach. Her has the poise necessary to explore the rollercoaster of loneliness and its relationship to love, especially by using a piece of AI as an extra stand-in exploring what it all means from a clean slate.

A poignant message, but ultimately I was unable to suspend disbelief enough to fully enjoy this. It would have made more sense to portray a future in which everyone had a relationship with a computer, and fully explore where that would leave us a society. This guy sees his coworker in a "real" relationship (and he is going through a "real" divorce), but we're supposed to believe he is happy "dating" an "OS?"

Starts as a wonderful and realistic satire on human's reliance on technology and morphs quite organically into a weird little romantic comedy. Then it essentially turns into manic pixie dream girl 2.0. All the joys of a woman fixing you without the bullshit of her physically existing. I still enjoyed it, but much of that has to do with Jonze's savvy behind the camera and Joaquin's amazing abilities in front of it.

Emotional, heartfelt and real. It was full of simple moments that allowed for the characters to grow emotionally. The tremendous cinematography combined with the constant flow of realistic dialogue, created a true romance. Directed and written by Spike Jonze this film has cute moments, it was happy moments of pure bliss and sad moments of heartbreaking reality. A must see.

Her is a tremendous piece of filmmaking slightly let down by its rushed ending. It manages to craft a sweet and surprisingly believable romance out of an awkward loner and his operating system, and with this premise the film has a lot to say about relationships in general, not just the one we happen to be watching. It's an often beautiful film, it has a few moments of humor, and it's incredibly affecting. The actors turn in great work and writer-director Spike Jonze has another bonafide winner.

Spike knows how to create a story for nerdy incels who're better with computers than people. The film does a great job of creating a visually compelling future that looks like a cleaned-up, daytime version of Blade Runner. But there's no real conflict in this story. It's just watching a hipster wallow in self-pity for ages. Which you could get just by looking at the poster. A marginal recommendation for the look and feel. But it works better as a video installation than it does a feature.

Simply beautiful.This movie first of all looks so beautiful.The color-grading and the cinematography are top-notch. Joaquin Phoenix delivers another top-class performance,it's deep,real,charismatic and heartbreaking.His chemistry with Johansson's voice is also great and if that hadn't worked,the whole movie wouldn't have.Also the philosophical questions raised by this movie are incredibly interesting and they aren't there for no reason,they add to the style and feel of the movie.
