Her is a beautiful and romantic science-fiction film that is perfect for the times. Joaquin Phoenix is amazing in it, the story is ever interesting, and the production design is incredible yet subtle. The film takes place in a not-so-distant future but isn't about flashy futuristic technology. The world instead has gone back to basics, adopting a minimalistic approach, integrating future tech into everyday items. It looks like a world designed by designers, rather than engineers. The film's love story is relatable on a human level, but the story of Her goes beyond the simple love story. It also tells the story of how the machines will rise against us. Unlike T2 though, Her's "Judgement Day" is a bit more subtle.
