Her
When I first heard what this film was about a while back, essentially a man falling in love with a computer, even despite other people's high recommendations and positive reviews, I instinctively lowered my expectation and put myself off seeing it until now. I'm so thrilled that I finally worked up the courage to watch it though, as not only has it proven to be entertaining, earning itself a few laughs, but more importantly, an emotionally captivating experience. There is little else you need to know about the plot of the film, other than that it is set in the future, where technology has advanced to the point at which it can develop beyond its creators.
Joaquin Phoenix portrays Theodore, a soon to be divorced writer, and does an amazing job at drawing the audience in to actually feel the emotional roller coaster he goes through. On top of this, the cinematography is beautifully captured and whilst, admittedly, the plot is not for everyone, the engineering behind it all genuinely makes it worthy of seeing.
