BrianSez's Review

  1. Quality
  2. Summary
    Really Great 4.5

    Spike Jonze creates a rare sic-fi movie that brings technology up close and personal. And not with some sledgehammer approach, but an approach that makes it easy to understand just how real the possibilities are. Scarily so, yet fascinating enough that you are excited to see things go there. That said, Her is so much more than a movie about future technology. It is ultimately about the human condition, and just how much we ache for companionship and love – even if we have to turn to computers to get it. So, go out and enjoy this one – both for the cool technology and for some deep introspection.

  4. Acting
    Really Great 4.5

    Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson (’s voice) hit it out of the park. Joaquin lets us in his head and makes it easy to think about what goes on in ours. Scarlett takes a supporting role to new levels by making it possible for us to fall for a simple voice. She’s the “Siri” that I really want! Nice to see Amy Adams as well.

  5. Male Stars Really Great 4.5
  6. Female Stars Really Great 4.5
  7. Female Costars Really Great 4.5
  8. Male Costars Really Great 4.5
  10. Film
    Perfect 5.0

    Tough to pull of a sci-fi with deep meaning.

Scarlett’s “the “Siri” that I really want!” Here, here!

It’s so interesting how smart people of like minds can have such disparate opinions. The cinematography, design – all the visual elements of Gravity were game-changers. I felt the conclusion was so flat. It struck me as a classic case of how much a bad conclusion can color an entire story.

Regarding Wick’s Review
Fair enough Terry, though my Best Pic of 2013 remains 12 Years a Slave, followed by Gravity. That said, I rated all three 5 out of 5 in terms of quality.

As to La Wilde One, you are so right.
