For starters, why would you design a commercial AI for use as a companion and give it the ability to learn at such a fast rate, or the ability to pine after a physical body? But you could debate that the only way to make a decent AI companion would be to endow it with familiar human qualities, A good film but drags a bit and once it's central themes have been digested there's not much to really captivate or entertain you … Expand I also found some of the plot elements unrealistic. Joaquin phoenix plays his role very well but I found his character too self pitying and weak after a while. It genuinely moved me, I won't say it didn't but that's only due to filming technique and me having a sentimental disposition. I would have preferred for the film to center on this theme a bit more and explore it's sci fi concepts but it insists on staying very human and that's it's downfall for me.

There are some interesting sci fi elements at play concerning AI and the eventual evolution of free thinking AI that can evolve at an exponential rate. It's more of a dark and foreboding insight into the human condition set in a dystopian future.

However, while it needs some time to sink in, Her might be the best of the bunch. Charlie Kaufman’s work that is not associated with Jonze is still very similar in style, so for those interested, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (personally, my favorite film) and Synecdoche, New York are essential viewing. For those who will be introduced to his work with this film and want to see more, Being John Malkovich and Adaptation are two of his earlier projects that have many of the same qualities as Her. This film is highly recommended for Spike Jonze fans. It also would have been fun to see a little more of the world around the characters, as most of the film is confined to Theodore’s apartment and workplace. It also leaves their plot line unresolved at the end, where it would have been nice to see some kind of conclusion to their relationship.
However, there is not a scene showing or explaining to the audience of how their relationship ended.
Theodore’s ex-wife (played by Rooney Mara) is portrayed as a little too bitter and jealous for my taste, but then again divorce is a messy situation, so her feelings are understandable. However, the real revelation here is Johansson, who is able to portray a character that is never seen, but is able to showcase such real emotion that it isn’t difficult at all to blame Theodore for falling in love with her. Her is also acted incredibly by Phoenix, who is faced with the difficult task of acting with someone who isn’t even in the room with him. The viewers are able to identify with the characters while simultaneously be captivated by the fantastical world around them. Giving their characters ordinary problems, but putting them in extraordinary settings is a method both Kaufman and Jonze have used with great success. Jonze’s collaborations with writer Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) appear to have made an impact on him.
Since it has already nabbed a major award, let’s start with the screenplay. The film has been nominated for five Academy Awards, and has won a Golden Globe for Best Original Screenplay. Amy Adams and Chris Pratt also have supporting roles as Theodore’s friends. Spike Jonze directs, and for the first time in one of his features, writes the brilliant original screenplay. Her tells a story set in the near future about a lonely man, Theodore (played by Joaquin Phoenix), who writes other people’s love letters, and starts a relationship with his artificially intelligent operating system, Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). So let’s take the moment that this film richly deserves, and take a closer look at this incredible movie. While it takes place in the future, I’ve never seen a film that is able to both identify and critique the now as well as Spike Jonze’s Her. So when a narrative film is able to do this, it’s necessary to take a moment to stop and appreciate this accomplishment. But only a few films are able to capture the present, and those that do are usually documentaries. Many films are able to capture the past, (war films, historical dramas) or give a convincing portrayal of the future (science fiction). This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
