Her What to Know 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. Read Critics Reviews Critics Reviews View More Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 09/05/2017 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. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 06/18/2016 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. Go to Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com 04/23/2015 A 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.

And spike jonez beautifully showed that love has no shape, a person can love anybody, anything not caring who they are. jaoquin pheonix's acting is just beautiful, he gave one of his best performance in this movie, this is just pure cinema See more Ivan M @RT31351643 Jul 18 I feel that the IA is an excuse to make us meditate about what human relationships mean, how we connect with each other and how to deal with difficult feelings while understanding other feelings Must to watch movie See more Fiona H @FionaHayden Jul 11 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.
