For a chick flick/sci-fi/fantasy movie - it was quite good.
At the risk of being pretentious...it was somewhat cerebral on a number of levels if you get over the somewhat silly premise of someone falling in love with a computer operating system. It was much more than that.
Joaquin Phoenix's performance was amazing - Oscar nominee calibre I'd say. Good to see him back and acting 'normal' for a change.
The director, Spike Jonze - makes some interesting observations and statements on our current society trend towards techno alienation from each other. People walking around oblivious to their surroundings while interacting with their smartphones and artificial intelligence OS's.
