Critics Consensus

Sweet, soulful, and smart, Spike Jonze's Her uses its just-barely-sci-fi scenario to impart wryly funny wisdom about the state of modern human relationships.

Candice Frederick

Reel Talk Online

While writer/director Spike Jonze creates a fascinating contemporary romance tale, complete with realistic snags, what is most interesting is the story's underlying commentary.

Rated: A-

Flavorwire

One half of the relationship at the center of 'Her' may lack a physical form, but it is nonetheless a film about the universality of romance: its longing, its intensity, and its transformative power - for the best, and the worst.

The quasi-science fiction story of the film feels entirely possible, as Phoenix stares around him at passersby, all entranced with an electronic device in their hands.

Rated: A

Every Movie Has a Lesson

It is profoundly unique and endlessly thought-provoking to say the least. I don't think I've ever seen a film take such a strange initial vibe and turn it into something completely approachable, relatable, and significant.

Rated: 5/5

…a delicate, rather melancholy film, one that relates to a time when communication is everywhere, but the users of the technology feel more alone than ever…

Scary and smartly funny but also beautiful and moving (but not in a way that changes me being an AI hater)? At times feels like one long aesthetically pleasing SNL skit where no one breaks character, in a good way. Joaquin and Scarlett kill it!! And, the soundtrack is gentle and gorgeous, literally makes me tear up.

I felt so related to it since I started taking life advices from chatgpt and it made me feel so pathetic to be honest. Love the film.

An extremely beautiful and moving film. It captures so emotionally feelings of love and longing. Theodore is a character that I rarely ever see being portrayed in film like this, a nice, lonely person who wants love but doesn't have the drive or courage to find it, so he sits with himself instead. And to show that kind of character in a romance movie is really something. Her really struck a chord with me.
