Review
Scarlett Johansson pretends to
be an "operating system", with whom the lonely Joaquin Phoenix
falls in love, but she clearly is just Scarlett Johansson reading
her lines, and filmmaker Spike Jonze tries to make it all weighty and
romantic by throwing in sentimental music by Arcade Fire. This film
operates in the what-if-machines-became-human territory, like an adult
version of Spielberg's
A.I. But as with many entries in this sub-genre, Her
cannot hide from the fact that it was obviously written by a human
impersonating a machine rather than vice versa. It's got platitude all
over it, even when it tries to be clever.
