We're going to have real questions about what makes us human and how we define sentience in the near future, and films like this one are what is going to start and continue that conversation.

I get why Jonze took the story the direction he did, but it felt like a cobble to me.

She did win a Best Actress award at an Italian film festival. What impresses me even more is that she wasn't the original voice. She was brought in to redo all the lines after they felt the original actress' delivery wasn't working as well as they wanted.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-11268592478058686542015-07-07T10:10:01.055-05:002015-07-07T10:10:01.055-05:00I loved this movie.

Phoenix is a favorite of mine and I truly believe Johansson should have gotten a nomination.

Joaquin Phoenix is great, portrays heartbreak well; I could almost see Scarlett Johansson's face as I listened to her voice. <br />I agree with you about the setting: it looks so recognisable, yet there is something a touch futuristic. <br /><br />The only issue I had was watching the film at a Film Club with a mostly older audience; the sex scenes were awkward to say the least. Add to that the house lights kept coming on at times, which was rather distracting. But it is a testament to the film that I was able to still enjoy it.
