Interesting theme, but weak ending

Rating: 6/10 (10 August 2014)

With most movies you need to supply a bit of "suspended disbelief", and "Her" is no exception. From a technical point of view, it is hard to imagine an OS as sophisticated (and sexy), right out of the box. Not so hard to imagine a mal-adjusted techhie, but more than once his irritating personality merits a two-by-four upside the head. Surprisingly impressive is Johansson's expertly delivered dialog. Given Scarlett's looks, the viewer is justifiably focused on her in other movies, more so than on her delivery. Amy Adams is entirely convincing as a nerdy girl - right down to the semi-vapid look in her eyes. The plot is sort of believable, but decidedly disappointing in the vague and unresolved ending. Maybe in some circles this is considered creative, but in my view Jonze just couldn't come up with a good, satisfying conclusion.
