Her

Her (2013) starring Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson (voice), Amy Adams, Rooney Mara. Directed by Spike Jonze. In the year 2025, Theodore (Phoenix) falls in love with his computer's operating system (voice of Johansson). What's more, the OS "falls in love" with him. But of course it can't be that simple. Suffice it to say that his OS has the ability to learn and evolve, and their relationship goes places one wouldn't dream it could go. This is a very interesting "what if" sort of movie. It's not believable for a second, but it poses some fascinating questions about the nature of intelligence and emotion, and of the future of computers. It certainly made for a good evening's entertainment. (English subtitles for the hearing-impaired are available.) Grade: B+
