Critics are applauding Spike Jonze's Her, a boy-meets-OS story starring Joaquin Phoenix as a man who falls in love with his thinking, feeling computer, voiced by Scarlett Johansson. Highlights from the reviews:
- "With his extraordinary new film Her, Spike Jonze has made a heartrending romance that will ring true for all those who've found, lost, or are still impatiently awaiting their own soul mate. In other words, it's for all of us," writes Elizabeth Weitzman in the New York Daily News. "Jonze is a master at transforming genres, and with Her, he renders formulaic romantic dramedies instantly obsolete."
