Rarely do I write again about a film long after I have seen it and told you whether it makes for a decent watch or not. 'Her' is a major exception. Rarely do films make you ponder long after they're over. This film's beauty lies in the fact that it lingers in your mind which dissects and philosophizes the story's different layers. The freshness in its treatment is reminiscent of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. It opens the door to a man's brain and looks at his insecurities, his inner turmoil and how his soul can be truly shaken and reach a state of nirvana when he confides in an entity which is dispassionate and non-judgemental.
As a society, it asks some dangerous questions from us. Are we moving towards a future when human interactions will be overrated? Scary thing is that the film suggests that we'd be better off then.
Definitely a film which will enjoy a gigantic cult following. Its most memorable quote? "Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It’s kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity."
This film is beyond the frivolities of star ratings. Watch it and delight your senses.
