Critics' reviews

"With his new movie 'Her'... Jonze creates the splendid anachronism of a movie romance that is laugh-and-cry and warm all over, totally sweet and utterly serious."

Richard Corliss: Time
"At once a brilliant conceptual gag and a deeply sincere romance, 'Her' is the unlikely yet completely plausible love story about a man, who sometimes resembles a machine, and an operating system, who very much suggests a living woman."

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"Jonze is a visionary whose lyrical, soulful meditation on relationships of the future cuts to the heart of the way we live now. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"A delicate, droll masterwork. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"Visionary and traditional, wispy and soulful, tender and cool (...) A film that stands apart from anything else on the horizon in many ways."

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
"The idea certainly has an inquisitive edge, but it's not just a cheeky provocation; Jonze infuses the conceit with genuine passion."

Eric Kohn: IndieWire
"Though set in the future, 'Her' is a timely, soulful and plausible love story. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
