Not too far fetched...

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2014)

"Her" is about a man who develops a relationship with his computer. The film is visually sumptuous - the color treatment, the way Los Angeles is portrayed as a futuristic metropolis and the set design is just gorgeous! Joaquin Phoenix gives a solid performance as Theodore, Amy Adams is her usual power-house self and Scarlett Johansson gives a killer performance as "Samantha". The film is definitely Spike Jonzes' best work to date. It has all his usual elements - dream like cinematography, a kooky storyline, witty dialogue and great acting. Not too far fetched premise, either - I can definitely see how artificial intelligence has the capacity to grow. 8 out of 10!
