Clever, visually beautiful but predictable..

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2018)

"Her" is a very strong critique of an aspect of our society of future society that scares me a lot. It shows a total dependence on technology even with something so personal and special as love and relationships.
This movie was beautifully shot. The color palette used makes it visually gorgeous and it has its fair share of funny and heartfelt scenes.
However, some points made me really disappointed.
The movie starts very well but becomes tedious after a while. It becomes predictable within the first 20 minutes.
Her' has an interesting concept on its side, and is helped by some good performances. However, the movie has some pacing issues and lucks in substance and story. I didn't feel as invested as I should've been. It thinks it has more to say about love and the human condition than it actually does.
In addition, some scenes were so disturbing and outlandish that I had to fast-forward, and very nearly quit the film.
And I guess the worst part of this movie is the ending. Predictable, poorly written and really disappointing..
I guess the movie is worth watching but not as great as you might expect.
(And I really fear this story is closer to our reality now than we would like to admit.)
