For those that have seen it, what are your thoughts on Spike Jonze's "Her", starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson?

I personally think this is one of my favorite romance movies of all time, if not one of my favorite movies of all time. I really don't know how to describe how this movie makes me feel other than it fills me up inside with so many emotions at almost every scene. Hearing Johansson's voice say "Hi" is like a warm blanket on a cold day. She is so inviting and you just want to hear her speak more. And hearing Joaquin talk so openly about his loneliness and depression just feels so..natural. No excessive crying, no lashing out, just...talking. Getting it all out and not thinking much about his life other than he's sad and doesn't know what to do about it. I know that feeling.

Anyway, this movie really just made me sit in my bed in silence and contemplate. I didn't cry at the end, but I got close. It made me ponder whether love would be worth pursuing if I could possibly end up like Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) one day if a relationship ends poorly, the only difference being that I wouldn't have a Samantha (Scarlett) OS by my side to talk to lol.

But that all aside, I just wanted to get your thoughts on the film and what you like or don't like about it.
