3.5 stars (out of 4)

Released 2013

Even though it’s not likely I’ll feel compelled to re-watch this film, I’m going to be generous and bump it up to 3.5 stars for its well-written script. While addressing issues related to being involved in an unconventional romance, the movie successfully painted a complex picture of the evolution of a relationship over time.

Human beings are ever-growing, ever-changing creatures. And the impact that has on interpersonal relationships is pretty universal. Members of any partnership ultimately face the same ups and downs, the same challenges of trying to understand one another. “her” aptly demonstrated these aspects while following a natural flow.

I also liked how small changes in thought processes were shown to have significant effects on mood and psychological wellbeing.
