Spike Jonze has created a subtle and visually-intriguing film about love and life--Her is equally about the intimate relationship humans have with technology, the relationships we have (or don't have) with each other, and--importantly--the relationship we have with the self. Joaquin Phoenix is marvelous in the many scenes he acts alone but, of course, completely with a voice. I left feeling very philosophical, indeed, about the future of our civilizations. As exciting as it seems to have such advanced technology right at our fingertips and in our heads, what will it do to our sense of self? And if the technology learns from us, evolves thanks to us...anyway, a very thought-provoking film. The film is arguably one of the most interesting romantic films ever made.
