It's an odd, sad love story, combined with a meditation on technology as an accelerator of social loneliness. Not a small part of it seems to be an allegory of lonely guys and their fear of women.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

In a dark theater, surrounded by the wondrous world Jonze creates in Her, it's difficult to avoid getting emotional.

Her shares a lot of themes with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, another story about the difficulty of moving on from relationships that once seemed destined to last forever.

Delightfully entertaining, if slightly unnerving ...
