Weird but a good weird

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2014)

A weird, wonderful, charming movie that will touch your heart about a man who falls in love with his operating system.
Set in the near future this wise movie offers insight into what makes a relationship work.
Joaquin Phoenix, a good actor but one I have found a little menacing in the past, does a superb job playing a clueless nerd with a good heart. His performance is utterly real and deep. Joaquin makes sure you ride his highs, lows and struggles right alongside him. Phoenix demonstrates that with a great script he can be a great actor.
His friend Amy, played by Amy Adams, provides a great foil for Phoenix by being a completely convincing buddy and maybe more for Theodore.
If you like romances, and even if you don't, don't hesitate to see this odd but endearing film. It's not soppy romance. This is a movie with meat on its bones.
