Thanks, Dorothy. I didn’t know what to expect–though I’m certainly glad I didn’t see it with either my daughter or my mother-in-law!

Thanks for your keen observations, Janine. I saw “Her” a second time, and was even more impressed by how tightly written and filmed it is. Theodore’s candy-gorgeous workplace is filled with hanging baskets of carnivorous plants! Thunder rumbles almost imperceptibly throughout. And yes, smoggy Shanghai! So perfect!

One of my favorite pivotal scenes was when Theodore takes Sam to a secluded cabin in the woods for a “romantic” weekend that only the carbon-based lifethings can recognize. Of course that’s the weekend she’s out doing other stuff. Such a tight story.

thanks for the “thoughts from the couch!”

And I love how you compare Theo and Samantha’s relationship to the therapist-patient relationship. Makes so much sense, but I hadn’t thought of it that way until reading your piece.

Thanks, Ann. Great minds think alike!
