Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A beautiful, bewitching and deceptively warm experience.
Fresh: In a calculatedly ambiguous way, Jonze appears to be both simultaneously mocking and embracing a genre (a tactic he used previously in Adaptation).
Fresh: It is a sweet-natured and melancholy film, beautifully directed, that manages to be satirical about love in a digital, distracted age without losing its heartfelt quality.
Fresh: The combination of Jonze's dialogue, the intensity of the performances and the way the film's style wraps you up in Theodore and Samantha's inner-ear relationship makes this feel like a uniquely apt diagnosis of contemporary ills.
Customer Reviews
Amazing and full of heart
For anyone that has been through a meaningful relationship, especially a long distance one.
The year's best love story... Open your mind and your heart.
Spike Jones Is The Man
He's only directed four movies in the past 15 years and this needs to change. 'Her' was just fantastic in every aspect.
One of the best romantic films of the 21st century.
This movie has to be the most enduring, captivating and heartfelt movie I have seen in a very very long time. It's is funny, romantic, witty and very enjoyable. This film provides us with a glimpse into the future in a very powerful way. This is a must see film.
