Set in the Los Angeles of the slight future, "Her" follows Theodore Twombly, a complex, soulful man who makes his living writing touching, personal letters for other people. Heartbroken after the end of a long relationship, he becomes intrigued with a new, advanced operating system which promises to be an intuitive entity in its own right, individual to each user. Upon initiating it, he is delighted to meet "Samantha," a bright, female voice, who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly funny. As her needs and desires grow in tandem with his own, their friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other. From the unique perspective of Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Spike Jonze (Best Director, "Being John Malkovich", 1999) comes an original love story that explores the evolving nature—and the risks—of intimacy in the modern world.

This film's modernised vision of society discusses technology's developing connection with human kind. I tend to dislike the concept of mocking society's reliance on technology, but this film took an alternate approach, focusing on the extreme intimacy between protagonist, Theodore, and his OS. In a world where everyone is so trusting of their devices, the audience is shown the ease of manipulating humans in an emotionally vulnerable state. I've seen many poorly executed films similar to this, but the intimacy and beautiful futuristic aesthetic are what make this cinematic experience unlike any other. Regardless of Samantha's improper existence, her presence is still felt as something more than just a voice, which really encourages the audience to justify Theodore's bizarre attraction to an operating system. But I must say this was definitely one of Siri's best performances.

My sister recommended it to me I thought here we go, machines and love, look out it's going to be terrible. But they showed a lot of subtlety, not sure other people would have got, what was happening to her later in the picture. Yet it avoided 1 dimensional clichés, I'm not sure I understand love, but a favorite of mine is Brainstorm with Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood.

Brilliantly made, and acted. Can't help but feel that with some minor tweeks this could have also been a cool prequel to terminator.
