A Must Watch

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2014)

I had been putting this movie off for about a year, and finally having got around to watching it, I can say Spike Jonze is at his best. I am a big fan of one of his prior movies "Adaptation", and that was a movie that delve real deep into the human psyche. The Movie "Her" continues that journey venturing even more deeply into the human emotions, this time looking at the need to feel love and experience relationship.
I am not sure why the director does not make more movies, as he is clearly at the forefront of American cinema. I think the reason i put this off for so long, was because like many people, at a certain level I felt that it could only venture so deep; as it is about a guy having a romance with a computer. I knew it was going to be smart, and masterfully filmed, but just felt I would wait a bit. Having watched it now, i can say it is not in the least bit boring, and does actually cover more ground than what one would expect.
Certainly a movie that will make the top lists of many movie fiends. Don't expect to have it all figured out beforehand, and miss out on it. As this is a warm feel good movie that should certainly be viewed by people from all walks of life.
