A sensitive and soulful man earns a living by writing personal letters for other people. Left heartbroken after his marriage ends, Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) becomes fascinated with a new operating system which reportedly develops into an intuitive and unique entity in its own right. He starts the program and meets "Samantha" (Scarlett Johansson), whose bright voice reveals a sensitive, playful personality. Though "friends" initially, the relationship soon deepens into love.

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.

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.

Flavorwire

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.

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.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

It is profoundly unique and endlessly thought-provoking to say the least. I don't think I've ever seen a film take such a strange initial vibe and turn it into something completely approachable, relatable, and significant.

Rated: 5/5

…a delicate, rather melancholy film, one that relates to a time when communication is everywhere, but the users of the technology feel more alone than ever…

Great performance from Phoenix and one of the best voice acting roles ever from Scarlett. The story was great, but I felt like it was a bit too long and dragged on at times. It was enjoyable though and interesting that this can be a glimpse of what the future has in store for us.

Her presents a unique and emotionally resonant love story between a man and an AI, highlighting how emotional connection can transcend physical form. With brilliant performances and stunning visuals, the film captures both the warmth and the heartbreak of human-AI relationships. It’s a slow-paced yet deeply moving experience that blends romance and sci-fi masterfully. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com) and (English version : uwiepuspita.com)

It’s hard to find fault here, though its quiet, introspective pace might not click for action fans. For me, it’s perfection. Jonze’s direction, the flawless script, and the cast’s chemistry create a film that’s equal parts funny, sad, and hopeful. Her is a profound, gorgeous masterpiece that resonates long after the credits, a must-see for anyone who feels.

Perfect, it feels a little bit slower at the beginning, however it's important to understand what Theo it's going through and it gives you the chance to empathize with the loneliness he is feeling. The acting is very convincing.

Being a stone-hearted person, I think the main character was a little pathetic. However, it's technically really well done
