In this sci-fi romantic comedy starring Joaquin Phoenix, love comes to a lonely young writer in the sleekest of packages when he finds himself falling for the advanced operating system he purchased to run his life.
I am trying to think of how I felt about this movie. I am running out of ideas... It is a peculiar movie, funny, refreshing, and at the same time a little depressing, with a visual identity that cannot really be described, odd, somehow off enough you cannot really tell why this feels so unusual. He is an ordinary good guy, perhaps a little shy but with a lot of potential. We get why he falls for an operating system, you feel how lonely it must feel when he feels it, most of the time, you read the critic of our current society in how disconnected people are from one another. Overall, this movie feels contemporary but this close to our future it is quite unsettling. My only criticism would be to have chosen the voice of Scarlett Johansson, because it is so recognizable we can't get out of our mind her face when she is talking.
