Almost a masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (1 June 2014)

Right from the start, you are completely captivated by the futuristic atmosphere, the colourful tones, the high rise pants, and with an anti-conformist premise, perfectly staged and lead by a terrific Joaquin Phoenix, always great when it comes to embody an introverted, tormented character, you are thinking this is going to be a masterpiece.
Unfortunately, you can only feel some frustration, even some disappointment because first, the movie a lot too long, the second hour seems endless, and second the scenario isn't fully developed, the plot ends quite abruptly and inconclusively which really is a shame considering what was offered before.
Nevertheless, Her got off the beaten paths and that forces respect, but if Jonze had taken his idea to its conclusion and fully exploited this incredible potential, this would have been a masterpiece.
