Theodore is a lonely-depressed who just got out of a divorce in the near future Los Angeles. One day, Theodore purchased an operating system upgrade that includes a virtual assistant with artificial intelligence, designed to adapt and evolve. He decided that he wanted the AI to have a feminine voice, and she named herself Samantha.He then starts having feelings for Samantha, even though she is an AI. But that doesn’t stop them from sharing their love for each other.
This film right here is my personal favorite of mine. I am really impressed by how beautiful this film is. Everything about it is top tier. From the acting, the story telling, the cinematography, the soundtrack, and the direction. The performances from both Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson are very appealing. The way they communicate with each other is just the most mesmerizing thing that either some who are or aren't in a relationship find very engaging. This film will warm your heart, and later break it, all in one sitting.
