Benjamin H Led by phenomenal performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johannson alongside Spike Jonze's top-notch writing and direction, Her is a deeply felt, multisided and impactful movie that is so reflective and intelligent in its exploration of human relationships and artificial intelligence while also having a pleasant sense of humour to it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Faiz D Wonderful though a bit weird (Charlie Kaufman weird). The acting, especially by Joaquim Phoenix, is great, the audio/visual style is great, some moments got me more than others, but all in all this is a solid and worthy effort in my opinion. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review M B A beautiful movie. One could say now, that it was ahead of its time. The world it builds in 2013 could easily come to pass in a decade from now. The cast, the story, the screenplay and the music all come together to deliver an experience which leaves you to self reflect! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. Technology & Romance is the themes explored here in a very sophisticated style. It reminds me of a Hal Ashby style flick or Lost in Translation because the whole thing just evolves into a complete vibe. Phoenix & Johannson are amazing. Acting against nothing is one thing but S.J. has to make you believe the A.I. system is real, not creepy, and in love with Phoenix without ever having any visual representation. Relying just on her emotions. It's a remarkable acheivement how she is able to do that. Phoenix's job isn't any easier honestly because while his character is very basic background wise, the themes and feelings he explores and feels are very complex and foreign. Yet he conveys them in relatable ways often reflecting how we feel perfectly. The performances of the two are just amazing honestly. Everyone else is really good too especially Adams. This would be soooo easy to turn into a bad Adam Sandler comedy idea or become very creepy like a John Carpenter Horror movie. But it's treated so sensitive and respectfully. The direction is excellent. Tons of lush color, deep focus, and it just knows when to do close ups of the emotions of the amazing acting. The Sci-fi setting is very mute. It looks barely futuristic beyond modern day 2010's. But it's a brilliant choice because it allows us to focus not on the bells and whistles or be distracted by all the tech but focus on the ideas and characters romance. This weaves comedy, romance, and Sci-Fi together masterfully so much so it's hard to tell the differecne at times. The music is really good too but I wish it was a bit more catchy and is probably the weakest thing. PErfectly paced film as well. A slow burn the entire way so the ideas can be fully explored. Surrogates for A.I.'s, cheating, maturity of relationships, real vs fake, human and not in terms of love, it's all touched on here extremely well and never feels bloated. Everyone should give this a try once. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Roberto T This is a fantastic sci-fi drama. The only negatives really are the faking of a post-development "super Los Angeles" via the scenes of Shanghai (they should just had admitted it was Shanghai) and the lack of concreteness in the fantasies she explores in the latter phase of the movie. Otherwise deep, moving, and surprisingly so for a movie so inwardly focused. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Stephen L "Her" (2013) presents an intriguing premise: a man falling in love with his AI assistant. However, the execution feels lackluster. Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of Theodore is muted and detached, making it challenging to engage with his character. Scarlett Johansson's voice work as Samantha adds warmth, but it isn't enough to compensate for the film's overall sluggish pace. The reliance on telephone-like interactions highlights the artificiality of the connection, resulting in a narrative that feels more like a concept than a compelling story. While "Her" attempts to explore themes of love and technology, it ultimately falls short of delivering a profound cinematic experience.
