The Take

Her, Spike Jonze’s sci-fi romantic drama, seems to feel even more relevant today than when it was released in 2013. The film follows Joaquin Phoenix’s Theodore as he forms a deep connection with his computer’s new AI, played by Scarlett Johansson. Since the film’s release, we as a society have become ever more intertwined with our own technology and AI has started working its way into all facets of our life, making much of Theodore and Samantha’s journey feel almost prescient.
