'Sometimes I think I have felt everything I'm ever gonna feel. And from
here on out, I'm not gonna feel anything new. Just lesser versions of
what I've already felt.' HER is an unconventional love story, playing upon ideas of loneliness, interaction and our perceptions of what love is. An overarching feeling of melancholy sets the backdrop for a film bursting with moments of powerful emotion and cutting social commentary. There is a strong sense of social disconnection within the film, revolving around the nature of technology and its dominance over our lives. Joaquin Phoenix gives a flawless performance as a man suffering through the loneliness of living a life alone within this world. The styling throughout the film is also a thing of perfection.
