Her

Another movie that i say "i should've watched before". Intense romantic drama. Fascinating portrait of loneliness in a post-digital world. Amazingly original screenplay, concept, musics, especially colors and performance from Joaquin Phoenix. This made me stay with myself after the credits have finished, i found myself reflecting on my own life and relationships.

A great film about loneliness. Splendid performance of Joaquin Phoenix. And pure poetry. Admirable poem about isolation, need of other, social surogate and , off course, freedom. Its basic virtue - the proposed questions creating perfect atmosphere , becoming inspired challenges to discover new perspectives.

Her no longer feels like a distant futuristic fantasy but more like a reflection of the AI-driven world we're beginning to inhabit. Spike Jonze imagined a lonely man forming a profound emotional bond with Samantha, an AI operating system full of charm, wit, and empathy. Today, chatbots and voice assistants echo that vision: AI like ChatGPT can converse naturally, offer guidance, and even mimic human emotion, creating connections that feel surprisingly real. This blurs the line between companionship and simulation, showing that Jonze's imagined world is closer than we might think - though we're still in the early stages.

Yet, unlike Samantha, modern AI lacks true self-awareness and genuine emotional growth. Tools like ChatGPT, with expressive voices, can charm and engage users, but they respond to prompts rather than forming authentic relationships. Her functions as both a mirror and a warning: AI can ease loneliness and simulate intimacy, but the film reminds us that the most meaningful connections remain human - messy, imperfect, and irreplaceable. Watching it today is both eerie and prescient, highlighting how the future Jonze envisioned is unfolding faster than expected.

Her remains one of the most essential "tech romance" films of the past decade, not just for its storytelling but for its philosophical and emotional foresight. With modern AI like ChatGPT, we're not merely imagining Jonze's world; parts of it are happening in real time. This isn't just entertainment - it's a living experiment, and its implications for society, identity, and human connection are only beginning to emerge.

This film was not at all what I was expecting but in a great way! I'm not a fan of Rom Coms or romances generally, and this film isn't that, although it has romantic elements to a degree. This film is more sci-fi than anything with a really interesting and fascinating twist, but also creepy and unsettling concept of relationships with an artificial intelligence. This film was perfectly cast and I can't think of better individuals to play each role. Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson do an incredible job!!!!!!! The film was paced perfectly and didn't drag at all. The film explores the themes of human interaction, emotional ranges of humans, the concept of love, companionship, loneliness, physical touch and so much more. I really enjoyed this film both for it's originality and the ability to make you sit in discomfort but want to explore further. This film makes you reflect on the relationships in your own life, life generally and the world as a whole. This film is beautiful in its cinematography, the musical score and I'm surprised it isn't more renowned. Honestly, a masterpiece in my opinion. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Fairly rare one of a kind film.

A high concept film that actually stays true to its core idea yet without losing viewer interest.

Some irony here. While the film never becomes completely predictable, even to a jaded reviewer like this one, its process of de-constructing human relationship (brilliant, and better than all Woody Allen's films combined) generates the sequential "connections" with the viewer (ie, experiences that every viewer can relate to) which in turn keep the empathy going long after the initial sci fi "wow" is gone.

Watching this (as an aside) you have to wonder if Scarlett Johansson's career can get any more interesting? In the Marvel films she plays an uber-woman, In LUCY she a woman who evolves beyond evolution itself. And here yet again she plays an OS that transcends reality.

Makes for a nice resume.

Notice how Amy Adams plays every scene with no makeup? Talk about a director making every effort to keep an actor's natural beauty from hijacking the film...?
