Theodore Twombly, a lonely introverted writer, falls for his computer Operating System in this funny science fiction comedy released in December of 2013. The film "Her" directed by Spike Jonze (Being John Malcovich, Adaptation, and Where the Wild things are) stars Joaquin Phoenix (as lead Twombly), Amy Adams, and Scarlett Johansson.
The film explores the boundaries of love in a modern way. In a world where technology has brought people closer together, this movie explores how the same technologies may make people more isolated at the same time. So much so people search for love in new ways. This movie is funny, ironic, touching, and sweet. Phoenix performance gets him a nomination for all the top awards for actors this season, while Johansson performance is no less spectacular although only her voice appears in the film.
Pros
1. Great writing and idea for a movie. Will definitely generate conversation with friends after the movie.
2. Top performances by Phoenix, and the rest of the cast.
3. If you are fan of Spike Jonze films you like this one. A little bit off beat but still makes you think.
Cons
1. It's movie could be a bit disturbing to some but still touching.
2. Ouch on the mustache and the outfits in this movie… just saying.
