A lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with his newly purchased operating system that’s designed to meet his every need. (IMDb)
Jonze’s poignantly prophetic near-future world is thoughtfully crafted, as the story subtly showcases its cultural milieu (see the letter writing job, voice-activated tech) and gorgeous, washed-out cinematography captures its streamlined urban isolation. The tenderness and tragedy of the central relationship (Phoenix and Johansson excel), meanwhile, offers more technological intrigue (Samantha’s development is fascinating-almost terrifying) while delicately examining the constructs of love.
9.5/10 (Amazing)
I thought this was such a cool movie, glad to see it so well reviewed, I thought it was sadly underrated at the time.

Thus far in my movie-watching career, it’s been both my favourite sci-fi and my favourite romance! Deserves all the love it can get, for sure.

I absolutely love this film! Who would have thought that one of the most effective romances in years would involve an operating system?
