Her (R) 8.0

Her (2013)  A lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with his newly purchased operating system that's designed to meet his every need. (8.1)

Director: Spike Jonze
Writer: Spike Jonze
Stars: Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Scarlett Johansson

I was surprised to see that they had picked Scarlett Johansson for a voice-only role but it worked perfectly. This is a story without too much action so the dialog is a major part of the acting. Even the role played by Joaquin Phoenix has to do a lot of talking. What starts out as a Sci-Fi fantasy turns into a romantic relationship story pretty quickly and we learn to adapt pretty quickly; and that's the power of both the acting and the screenplay. I very much enjoyed all aspects of this movie, including the story, the acting, the directing, etc. My Rating: 8.0
