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.
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.

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. |

Whenever that happens in the future, people are going to look back at Her in disbelieved awe for foreseeing the future with such disarming precision. |

Jonze is narratively playful and challenging, but his interest as a filmmaker is in the human experience: unresolved emotions, emotional pain, longing, disappointment, and the need for love and affirmation |

Spike Jonze delivers a profound exploration on the evolution of love and oneself. Full review in Spanish |

And maybe tech can ultimately just be a tool when put into perspective; maybe it can help us positively evolve as humans. Exploring our still-in-progress relationship with it at least makes for one helluva film... |
| 288202 | Dustin Chang | ScreenAnarchy | Fresh | — | 2021-02-24T19:10:57.000Z | 2021-02-24 19:10:57 | With Her, Jonze also proves himself to be a very acute observer of the hypersensitive generation that was raised on the computer. |

| 288214 | Katie Smith-Wong | Flick Feast | Fresh | 4.5/5 | 2019-11-20T21:13:05.000Z | 2019-11-20 21:13:05 | Overall, Her is a beautiful film - wonderful acting, great story and dreamy soundtrack. Miss it and you'll miss out. |

| 288216 | Ellie Lucas | The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2019-07-04T17:10:29.000Z | 2019-07-04 17:10:29 | One of the most deeply felt and profoundly wise love stories to come along in a long time. |

| 288218 | Tom Bond | One Room With A View | Fresh | 4/5 | 2019-06-08T01:37:01.000Z | 2019-06-08 01:37:01 | The first rush of new love feels as real and euphoric as any traditional relationship and slowly sours into disaffection and jealousy with just as much familiarity. |

| 288220 | Ruth Maramis | FlixChatter Film Blog | Fresh | 4.5/5 | 2019-03-18T18:01:11.000Z | 2019-03-18 18:01:11 | There are so many rich nuances in this film that I could mull over and contemplate with, it's definitely one of those films that I'd like to watch more than once just to absorb it all again. |
| 288221 | Daniel Green | CineVue | Fresh | 4/5 | 2019-03-07T01:37:11.000Z | 2019-03-07 01:37:11 | Beginning life as a quirky rom-com before turning into something far greater and more profound, Jonze's Her puts forward a convincing and compelling defense of technology's growing dominion over our everyday lives. |

Which is fine, because even the Jonze films that miss (Where the Wild Things Are) are still nice to watch. |
| 288226 | Debbie Baldwin | Ladue News | Rotten | 5/10 | 2018-11-14T02:15:47.000Z | 2018-11-14 02:15:47 | I found the movie tedious and un-engaging. |

| 288233 | Camilla Long | Sunday Times (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-02-22T01:56:11.000Z | 2018-02-22 01:56:11 | There are times when Her feels like genius, and times when it feels like one long and painful call to a call centre, because that's exactly what it is. |

Still, as he did in 1999, Jonze has his finger on the zeitgeist. |

| 288255 | Austin Trunick | Under the Radar | Fresh | 8/10 | 2014-08-18T12:46:57.000Z | 2014-08-18 12:46:57 | Her explores fantastical ideas in ways we wish more films would: cerebrally, maturely, and non-reliant on action. |
| 288256 | Scott Mendelson | Forbes | Fresh | 8.0/10 | 2014-08-11T07:14:14.000Z | 2014-08-11 07:14:14 | Her is a winning discussion of the idealization of women and the possessive nature of monogamous relationships in a somewhat warmer fashion than Vertigo or Ruby Sparks while admitting that its a problem for both genders. |
| 288257 | Kevin A. Ranson | MovieCrypt.com | Fresh | 3.5/4.0 | 2014-08-07T18:32:33.000Z | 2014-08-07 18:32:33 | While intimacy and exclusivity are the core ideas being explored, very little is taboo...'Eliza,' you've come a long way, baby. |
| 288258 | Clayton Davis | AwardsCircuit.com | Fresh | 4/4 | 2014-07-04T16:07:43.000Z | 2014-07-04 16:07:43 | "Her" is the finest writing and directorial endeavor of Spike Jonze's career. |
| 288259 | Jason Best | Movie Talk | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-06-29T03:41:57.000Z | 2014-06-29 03:41:57 | This quirky, clever, thought-provoking film is an all-too-credible prediction of the way humanity is heading, but is also sharply observant of the way we interact with technology, and each other, today. |
| 288260 | Richard Knight | Windy City Times | Fresh | — | 2014-06-28T00:56:12.000Z | 2014-06-28 00:56:12 | A lyrical, deeply felt movie with a surprisingly gentle spirit. |
| 288261 | Melissa Anderson | Artforum | Fresh | — | 2014-05-22T15:00:47.000Z | 2014-05-22 15:00:47 | Phoenix's performance is imbued with such genuine heartsickness that Theodore's musings on why his marriage fell apart ring of piercing, real-life regret, not break-up bromides. |
| 288262 | Rebecca Cusey | Patheos | Fresh | — | 2014-05-16T09:40:05.000Z | 2014-05-16 09:40:05 | 'Her' reduces love to a purely intellectual pursuit. The body is oddly irrelevant, the soul absent, reproduction abandoned. The result is dehumanizing. And yet fascinating. |
| 288263 | Brad Keefe | Columbus Alive | Fresh | 4/4 | 2014-04-21T10:25:58.000Z | 2014-04-21 10:25:58 | An abundantly earnest look at the pain of loss and the rebirth of new love that somehow feels wholly original and familiar at the same time. |
| 288264 | Felix Vasquez Jr. | Cinema Crazed | Fresh | — | 2014-04-21T02:36:36.000Z | 2014-04-21 02:36:36 | It's an incredible technological tale about love, human connection, and a question of a higher power. |
| 288265 | Ray Pride | Newcity | Fresh | — | 2014-04-04T18:27:32.000Z | 2014-04-04 18:27:32 | The only other filmmaker who knows how to make sound, music and moment fit like a fitting of a perfectly suited slipper would be Sofia Coppola. Patience. Trust. |
| 288266 | Ed Whitfield | The Ooh Tray | Fresh | — | 2014-03-01T12:41:35.000Z | 2014-03-01 12:41:35 | If Her is indeed a male fetish fantasy (as one journalist claimed), it's an odd one, presumably aimed at the same men who get a thrill from having their member sheathed in sandpaper. |
| 288267 | Donald Clarke | Irish Times | Fresh | 5/5 | 2014-02-28T08:33:52.000Z | 2014-02-28 08:33:52 | As Her slips into an inevitable melancholy, it becomes less about trans-humanity and more about, well, humanity. |
| 288268 | Leigh Paatsch | Herald Sun (Australia) | Fresh | — | 2014-02-27T12:45:54.000Z | 2014-02-27 12:45:54 | A beautiful, bewitching and deceptively warm experience. |
| 288269 | Steve Newall | Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) | Fresh | 5/5 | 2014-02-27T11:34:54.000Z | 2014-02-27 11:34:54 | For the first time with Her, the relationships Jonze brings to the big screen blossom into something bigger than the story and setting around them. |
| 288270 | Hilary A White | Sunday Independent (Ireland) | Fresh | — | 2014-02-21T13:21:05.000Z | 2014-02-21 13:21:05 | Witty, tender and arrestingly gorgeous, Her is a masterpiece. Phoenix's central performance is of the lofty levels we have come to expect of him while Johansson disarms with only her voice. |
| 288271 | Michael Bonner | Uncut Magazine [UK] | Fresh | 8/10 | 2014-02-20T18:19:53.000Z | 2014-02-20 18:19:53 | In a calculatedly ambiguous way, Jonze appears to be both simultaneously mocking and embracing a genre (a tactic he used previously in Adaptation). |
| 288272 | Dennis Schwartz | Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews | Fresh | B+ | 2014-02-19T00:03:10.000Z | 2014-02-19 00:03:10 | Audacious gimmicky sci-fi romance story between a lonely divorced writer with his newly purchased OS1. |
| 288273 | Amon Warmann | HeyUGuys | Fresh | 5/5 | 2014-02-17T08:21:31.000Z | 2014-02-17 08:21:31 | A film you can revisit time and time again. |
| 288274 | Mark Kermode | Observer (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2014-02-16T13:42:04.000Z | 2014-02-16 13:42:04 | In the battle between head and heart there remains a Tin Man-shaped hole, leaving the viewer smiling wryly at the thought-provoking conceits while remaining as emotionally isolated as the movie's protagonist. |
| 288275 | Larushka Ivan-Zadeh | metro.co.uk | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-02-14T18:24:40.000Z | 2014-02-14 18:24:40 | It's still an inspired, playful, erotic and gently tender look at our technology co-dependence, relationships and modern loneliness that is, undoubtedly, the love story of 2014. |
| 288276 | Geoffrey Macnab | Independent (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-02-14T12:21:56.000Z | 2014-02-14 12:21:56 | 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. |
| 288277 | Nick James | Sight & Sound | Fresh | — | 2014-02-14T12:19:39.000Z | 2014-02-14 12:19:39 | 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. |
| 288278 | David Aldridge | Radio Times | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-02-14T07:27:35.000Z | 2014-02-14 07:27:35 | At two hours, Her is a little too long, but it ably demonstrates Jonze's talent for mature and magical film-making. |
| 288279 | David Sexton | London Evening Standard | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-02-14T07:25:13.000Z | 2014-02-14 07:25:13 | Her is a brilliantly reimagined rom-com, only obliquely interested in its sci-fi setting, which is casually disclosed as the film goes on, never foregrounded. |
| 288280 | Brian Viner | Daily Mail (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-02-14T07:23:38.000Z | 2014-02-14 07:23:38 | Sweet, smart, insightful, funny and thought-provoking ... |
| 288281 | Anthony Morris | The Vine | Fresh | — | 2014-02-13T17:36:01.000Z | 2014-02-13 17:36:01 | Its insights into relationships are sharp without being earth-shattering. But as a window onto a relationship that carries real meaning for the two people in it, Jonze has created something crystal-clear. |
| 288282 | Peter Bradshaw | Guardian | Fresh | 3/5 | 2014-02-13T12:09:17.000Z | 2014-02-13 12:09:17 | The film seems very new, but the sentimental ending is as old as the hills. There are some great moments. |
| 288283 | Nigel Andrews | Financial Times | Rotten | 2/5 | 2014-02-13T12:07:24.000Z | 2014-02-13 12:07:24 | We need more subplots. (Even just one.) Instead we get a life sentence of staring at Phoenix's face while the actor, as skilfully as he can, goes through the 12 steps of disenchantment in his one-man LA therapy classes. |
| 288284 | David Jenkins | Little White Lies | Fresh | 5/5 | 2014-02-13T11:20:58.000Z | 2014-02-13 11:20:58 | Whimsical futuro-romance effortlessly evolves into ambiguous, unfathomable hard sci-fi in Spike Jonze's best film to date. |
