It studies the lack of human interaction in society today, our inability to properly socialize due to technology and at the core, just how desperate a lonely heart can get without ever realizing what's directly in front of it. Joaquin Phoenix brings a masterful sincere performance to the table that is compelling, touching and sympathetic without ever becoming the type of creepy it could have easily been had it been in someone else's hands. Complimented with some soft color palates, beautiful and non-distracting set & costume design and a powerfully elegant soundtrack, her deserves a round of enthusiastic applause from fans of Jonze's work.
4 sexy dead cats out of 5

I loved this one. Maybe my favorite movie of 2013. It's the sort of movie that really sticks in your head. Wonderful performances from everyone. Spike Jonze voiced the little alien kid.
I noticed that.
The voice.
I saw Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig supplied voices too.
I wanted to rate it with what the alien kid said but forgot what it was...something like a 4 "fuckhead fuckface"'s out of 5 or something. XD
Wiig was the "sexykitten"....not sure who Hader was though.
I think Budarc said it was his fave movie of the year too.
Not sure what mine is yet...still have about 2 weeks of films to get through first before I make a decision....have a pretty good idea what it is though.
