Crazy good!

It's a shame I had to discover "Her" from a YouTube film list named "Best hipster films" as it's so much more than that.
"Her" blew me away with it's fantastic take on the classic love story. The performances are amazing and Jonze absolutely nailed the situations that relationships have with the dialogue but with the added spice of one person being an A.I. and one a human.
There are moments of joy and moments of pure sadness and pain, all of which I felt through Theodore. There are also some wonderfully and intentional awkward parts to the film yet the semi-futuristic world that this is set in seems relatively open to these A.I./human relationships which is in itself refreshing and optimistic yet at the same time quite cringey.
Scarlett Johanssen stole the show for me as the voice of Samantha. The nuance and emotion in her voice, the playfulness, the sadness, the innocence was delivered perfectly and was totally captivating for someone that isn't actually seen. She was made a real character and one that you could almost believe you could fall in love with.
It's a shame that this movie will get relegated to the wanky art film section by the majority of the public, probably due to it's visual style but take a leap and enjoy one of the finest films for years.
