9/10 For one of the more important movies of the last years.

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2015)

I watch at least two hundred movies each year, mostly while doing other stuff as well (reading, writing, playing). Because I was ill yesterday, "Her" got my full attention. Thank god, it was such an awesome movie.
Actually I wanted to see it in the local cinema but no one else was interested in it and I already have to watch lots of movies alone. Speaking of loneliness, this is one of the films main theme. It means that Joaquin Phoenix had the burden to carry it mostly alone with the sulky voice of Scarlett Johansson.
In the near future, Theodor is facing divorce from his wife and he feels lonely. I buys himself a virtual companion, a computer programme with a female voice. What starts out as a mere substitute for a real person at his side develops into a very deep and intimate relationship.
One of the best movies I have seen recently (yeah, I know there's a lot of good movie reviews, but I try to buy good DVD's not crappy ones). It's intimate but never really awkward, rude or embarrassing. It's a modern love story with a lot hindsight, carefully executed dialogues and a great plot. Phoenix acting is awesome (as always) and Johanssons voice is so lovely, one could listen to it endlessly. I also want to point out the visual designs and layout of this flick - if You are interested in interior design and furniture, You will absolutely love it. I have always been a admirer of Spike Jonze and "Her" surely asserted that.
