Absolutely amazing...

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2014)

While initially interested in seeing this film after hearing it was about a guy falling in love with an operating system, I couldn't help but feel that this film could easily fall off the razor's edge and look like something Adam Sandler would make. However, with Spike Jonze at the helm, such a horror would never occur but there was still a risk this one-of-a-kind film had to take and that risk paid off big time because this movie is incredible.
Spike Jonze not only wrote an interesting story that was a compelling look at our modern relationships and dependency on technology but he presented it in a way that was a visual feast and absolutely beautiful to take in. And when you combine the great story and wonderful visuals with the awesomely-amazing acting from Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson, the ending result was a film that was incredible beyond words. Seriously, the acting really has to be mentioned twice because when you realize that, essentially, ScarJo is just a voice and Phoenix is pretty much doing one long extended phone bit and they both are capable of bringing real, honest and true-looking emotion to the screen is, without a doubt, a wonder to behold. "Her" is capable of being interesting, beautiful, emotional and heartbreaking all at the same time and really took the love story into a direction never before seen. I was completely enthralled with it and just blown away by the film's delivery. Just a fantastic movie.
