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.

A-

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.

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.

5/5

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.

…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…

Her is a beautifully written film that explores loneliness, connection, and what it really means to love. Joaquin Phoenix gives a subtle, deeply human performance that makes every emotion feel genuine. The minimalist visuals and gentle pace let the story breathe, while the themes become more thought-provoking as technology continues to evolve. Emotional without being overly dramatic, it's a film that stays with you long after it ends.

The movie should be in the horror category. It is horrific to think this alot of this is actually happening today, and even more horrifying imagining what is to come. Excellent movie for a movie. Terrible reality check. We are made in the image of God.
