Her | Rotten Tomatoes (2025)

Audience Reviews

Roberto T This is a fantastic sci-fi drama. The only negatives really are the faking of a post-development "super Los Angeles" via the scenes of Shanghai (they should just had admitted it was Shanghai) and the lack of concreteness in the fantasies she explores in the latter phase of the movie. Otherwise deep, moving, and surprisingly so for a movie so inwardly focused. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Stephen L "Her" (2013) presents an intriguing premise: a man falling in love with his AI assistant. However, the execution feels lackluster. Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of Theodore is muted and detached, making it challenging to engage with his character. Scarlett Johansson's voice work as Samantha adds warmth, but it isn't enough to compensate for the film's overall sluggish pace. The reliance on telephone-like interactions highlights the artificiality of the connection, resulting in a narrative that feels more like a concept than a compelling story. While "Her" attempts to explore themes of love and technology, it ultimately falls short of delivering a profound cinematic experience. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Luis I This is an almost flawless film, I honestly struggle to find anything negative to say about it. There’s so much to praise that it’s hard to know where to begin. Oddly enough, I’ll start with production design and wardrobe, which craft a futuristic yet familiar and realistic world. Every detail feels intentional, with a stylish and symbolic use of colors: reds, oranges, and pinks, woven into the fabric of the film. The warm, soft muted pastels not only enhance the visual aesthetic but also reflect the melancholic atmosphere in which the characters exist. The cinematography is stunning, relying heavily on long lenses to create a sense of distance between the protagonist and his environment. This choice allows us to focus on the evolution of his relationship and the inner conflicts that come with it. The writing stands out for its originality, taking a profound, emotional, psychological, and introspective approach to its concept. The narrative structure is carefully designed to keep us engaged, particularly in how the AI character is written. Despite being artificial, she is given such humanity that we not only relate to her but also become invested in her journey; though we primarily experience it through Joaquin Phoenix’s character’s perspective. The dialogue is exceptional, elevating the film’s emotional depth. This is further amplified by Joaquin Phoenix’s nuanced and deeply felt performance, as well as Scarlett Johansson’s brilliant voice acting, which brings life and depth to a character who is never physically present. The editing works seamlessly, piecing together a series of moments that flow naturally. While some might find the pacing slow, I believe it’s precisely the rhythm needed to fully immerse the audience in the experience. Sound design is subtle yet effective, and the music is not only beautiful but also plays an integral role both diegetically and non-diegetically. All of this, of course, is masterfully shaped by Spike Jonze’s distinct creative vision. He has crafted one of cinema’s most unique films, from its innovative concept to its deeply artistic execution. Without a doubt, I highly recommend it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Gaby C Her is one of those movies that speaks softly but says so much. Joaquin Phoenix is incredible—he conveys loneliness, tenderness, and that deep need for connection in such an honest and subtle way. But what really got me was the love and care put into every detail.Spike Jonze’s direction is flawless. Every shot, every silence, feels intentional. The color palette is beautifully curated—warm, soft tones that add to the sense of intimacy and quiet melancholy. Nothing feels random, and you can tell everything is there for a reason. The music fits perfectly too; it never takes over but lifts every scene just enough.Even though it’s set in a near future, it’s really a story about the present: about loneliness, love, and our need to be seen and heard. You leave the movie with questions, but also with the feeling that you’ve experienced something real.
