Plot Summary: Theodore Twombly is a lonely writer, living in a slightly futuristic Los Angeles, who is navigating a difficult divorce. He develops a deep connection with Samantha, an advanced, artificially intelligent operating system designed to meet his every need. As their relationship evolves, Theodore and Samantha explore the complexities of love, intimacy, and human connection in a world increasingly shaped by technology.

Dad's Preview: This creative, light-on-the-sci-fi romance has a lot to say about human relationships in an increasingly overwhelming digital word. The film is engaging thanks to a great script, and Phoenix's sympathetic performance. He personifies loneliness, and we've all been there.
