A fantastic futuristic romance film uncovering emotional vulnerability

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2020)

Her is a fantastic film which explores the craving for love from someone/something. It exposes the sheer scale of emotional vulnerability and fragility when someone is dealing with loneliness and heartbreak. These themes are shown through a hypothetical case where a man falls in love with AI operating system. In the film's setting I also enjoyed how we see that this behaviour is exhibited throughout the populace and how people adapt to it (e.g. the double date). I also appreciated the production design. Whilst it was futuristic it did not appear to far distant from where find ourselves currently. This coupled with the rapid growth of AI in our lives today makes the film completely relatable, although not entirely.
Overall, the concept of this film as unique and it worked!
