... The human realities of an Artificial Intelligence relationship...

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2014)

'Her' by Spike Jonze is an excellent insight into what it would be like to fall in love with a calibrated computer consciousness.
Would it ever be possible? Perhaps for some. For others perhaps not.
Yet this is worth seeing for the poetry and the question itself in terms of psychology and mechanical emotions, whether PC or 'Apple of your eye'. Phoenix is suitably convincing in terms of wooden post-modern autistic emotions - portraying the travails of a man who is caught between adoring a feminine interpretation of information on one hand and the human touch of a soul mate on the other. A brief and excellent appearance from Olivia Wilde and a dependable Amy Adams. Especially clever is the way Scarlett seems to project herself through so many of the female characters even though she only plays the very convincing and stimulating 'voice' of the film.
