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- Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey 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. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com 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 Apr 23, 2015 Full Review Don Shanahan 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 Oct 17, 2024 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film The world that Spike Jonze brings us is absolutely incredible. Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …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… Rated: 4/5 May 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel M Great performance from Phoenix and one of the best voice acting roles ever from Scarlett. The story was great, but I felt like it was a bit too long and dragged on at times. It was enjoyable though and interesting that this can be a glimpse of what the future has in store for us. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review Aluna U Her presents a unique and emotionally resonant love story between a man and an AI, highlighting how emotional connection can transcend physical form. With brilliant performances and stunning visuals, the film captures both the warmth and the heartbreak of human-AI relationships. It’s a slow-paced yet deeply moving experience that blends romance and sci-fi masterfully. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com) and (English version : uwiepuspita.com) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Sebastian D It’s hard to find fault here, though its quiet, introspective pace might not click for action fans. For me, it’s perfection. Jonze’s direction, the flawless script, and the cast’s chemistry create a film that’s equal parts funny, sad, and hopeful. Her is a profound, gorgeous masterpiece that resonates long after the credits, a must-see for anyone who feels. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/21/25 Full Review Enrique V Perfect, it feels a little bit slower at the beginning, however it's important to understand what Theo it's going through and it gives you the chance to empathize with the loneliness he is feeling. The acting is very convincing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Gabriel T Being a stone-hearted person, I think the main character was a little pathetic. However, it's technically really well done Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review paw m completamente hermoso, una obra de arte. Una dirección de arte increíble, una historia conmovedora me encanto 😭 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
