Her

In the not too distant future, an emotionally disenfranchised writer falls in love with his mobile operating system. What could’ve easily been a ludicrous concept turns out to be a disarmingly profound film about our hopeless dependence on love and technology, and how the two are becoming increasingly interconnected. Need proof? Online dating websites are no longer the shameful secret they were ten years ago and apps like Tinder have rendered sex pretty much a transactional commodity. Spike Jonze’s script stirs the mind and touches the heart in equal measure and if ever there were an award for Best Disembodied Performance, Scarlett Johansson would be up for it, hands down.
