Her (2013)
Date seen: 20 January 2014
Rated R, 126 mins.
IMDB User Rating: 8.5
Metascore: 91/100 (User Score: 8.8)
Tomatometer: 94% Certified Fresh (Audience: 86%)
Movie Notebook Score: 9.15/10
Recommendation: C - Selectively Recommended
Grade: ST - Watch if you can't Sleep
Notes:
What makes Spike Jonze's Her (2013) special is its outstanding screenplay coupled with excellent production design, musical score, cinematography and--of course, the noteworthy performance of lead act Joaquin Phoenix. Almost a one-man show, Phoenix effectively conveys Theodore Twombly's love, desperation, sadness, and risque. Amy Adams played her role effortlessly which could have deserved a supporting act nod if not for limited exposure--as well as Rooney Mara. Scarlett Johansson sounded like a prostitute the whole time--her depiction of the physically-nowhere Samantha. Her (2013) touches the soul as it cleverly explores the possibilities of love and the outcomes of human acts that result from it.
