A sublime work of art

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2014)

Who would have thought a movie about a guy falling in love with his computer could have such emotional depth, such human warmth, such poetry? In spite of (or because of?) its heavy stylization, "Her" handles its themes of love and loneliness in a way that feels as nuanced and true as any movie I've seen.
I love that the film takes what could have been a simplistic story of male wish fulfillment and turns it into something unexpected and beautiful. It speaks to universal human experiences as well as to how technology shapes our present and, possibly, our future. A sublime work of art.
