Is Her actually an entertaining movie to watch? or is it just like another Oscar bait cerebral slow burn that at the end of it you realized it was pretty boring if it didn't provoke any thoughts for the viewer?
Omg YES!
But! It’s a movie made before doomscrolling while watching was a thing, so you are expected to pay close attention the whole time and not be on your phone while you watch it
Sorry, what? I was on my phone while reading this comment
Thank you I appreciate this very much! I'm convinced so I'm gonna watch it this week and I'll be sure to try to keep my phone out of my hands. It's more a physical keep my hands busy compulsion than anything haha
Thanks for being vague ;)
Just to add, it's definitely more character driven than plot driven. I really enjoyed it, but not everyone is big on character driven stories.
Additionally, I think in a post GPT world it'll hit different, but at the time it brought up interesting concepts that weren't mainstream yet.
Absolutely, go watch it. It's beautiful and the actors feel authentic.
It's a great film.
Not really a slow burn, but its got elements of sci fi, rom com, and drama all rolled into one. I'd say it's best leg is the romance/drama.
On another level, it's kinda Jonze's... reply(?) to Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation. Or a custody battle over Scarlett Johansson, idk.
