Review:  "Her," a Warner Bros. produced the film, released under the banner of PVR Rare director, is a futuristic romantic tale. With a touch of science fiction, this novel cyber-fiction expose human traits of self-acceptance and growth of lonely singles in this generation.

The story takes place over a period not too far from the action in Los Angeles, where everyone seems happy in his world but strangely alone, always in private conference with their phones and gadgets. It seems that every world we know.
The film begins with a first Dramatically Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), reading a letter you just typed. The letter, sensitive and compassionate, gives an idea of his art as a writer of the letter, compose letters to intimate to the next measure. He's so good at his job than his colleagues (Chris Pratt) has been constantly renewed.

But, unfortunately, a crisis in his personal life. This is his wife Catherine (Rooney Mara) separating and he heard the cry, "From my break, I did not like my writing."

So he spends much of his time to the host interface with 3D games.

One day, a new operating system OS1 is made with a self-programming software for your computer. This software meets the personality and needs.

Thus, after the installation of a female version of the software is implemented, as Samantha with a conscience and realistic spontaneity. It has a seductive voice and speaks husky, or sweetly pretty funny ringtones Scarlett Johansson. It is the perfect tool for any solitary.

Connected to your mobile phone, while Theodore should speak Samantha, is a small device. Often the conversation while walking through the windows of the city rises in the subway, on the beach later on a fast train and forest walks.

Theodore obsessive interaction with Samantha, an intimate relationship between the odd couple: a real man, visible and invisible woman, both reacted with joy and wonder with each one.

The film not only excludes our dependence on our devices, but also the conservative wisdom that this dependence makes us the worst people. Theodore relationship with Samantha paradoxically improved individual around their human companions ago.

Phoenix is an extraordinary depth and sympathy actor brings to a role that he needs to rebound in the empty spaces that act alone most of the time. Their well-modulated voice response Scarlett Johansson are great.

The cast also includes Amy Adams as an old friend of Theodore, a little too easily, is also subject to a romantic separation. Olivia Wilde in a small role as a blind date is totally lost.

The production quality of the film is above average and cinematography by Hoyte van Hoytema worth mentioning. It captures beautiful Theodore all angles and emotions, static or moving. Unfortunately, throw off balance the institution narrative said to be based in Los Angeles, but the images with pan-Asian faces you wonder if you are in China, part of the City of Los Angeles.

Director Jonze plated writing what people really want to love and relationships. Despite his eccentric humor and comedy, the original script with an absurd, bordering on weird premise is intriguing and appealing to a certain extent. Unfortunately, history is bound and very practical. That fades in a matter of self-realization shot kills pressure factor on the film.
