Directed by: Spike Jonze
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams
Time: 126 minutes
In a Los Angeles of a
not-so-distant future, Theodore Twombly is a lonely man working for a company where
he writes personal letters for people who cannot express themselves to their
loved ones. Still reeling from his divorce from his high school sweetheart,
Theodore purchases an operating system as a virtual personal assistant. He chooses
a female voice for his OS, who then chose the name Samantha for herself.
Theodore ends up falling in love and starting a relationship with his operating
system.
The science-fiction element of this story is very light. A little over ten years later, this film is more actual than ever, with technology and AI taking more and more space in our daily lives. This film offers a compelling look at the complexity of human relationships in a modern era.
The acting here was solid from everyone. I was pulled into this story and was hooked all the way through. Loved it.
