My favorite movie. I'd describe Her as nostalgic, melancholic, retro-futuristic, and above all, deeply relatable. It beautifully captures the little moments of everyday life after a close relationship comes to an end.
Theodore is a deeply nostalgic character, someone almost anyone could see themselves in. He represents that transitional period when something you once loved deeply has come to an end, and you want to make room for something new. Yet, the memories and experiences of that past connection remain a part of who you are.
One of the movie's greatest strengths is its warm color palette, which contrasts beautifully with the melancholy of its story. This is complemented by its everyday scenes and shots, moments in which any of us could see a little bit of ourselves.

One of the best shows I've ever watched. Its story raises all kinds of existential questions, such as what makes us who we are, the body or the mind? If two instances of our mind could exist within the same body, what would happen? Would both still be part of a single being?
These are some of the fascinating questions that Severance explores in such a captivating way. All of this is complemented by its retro-futuristic aesthetic and a cold, raw, cinematic atmosphere that fits its story perfectly.

Not gonna lie, I really like this video because I feel like Who Knows by Daniel Caesar fits perfectly with the aesthetic and storytelling of the short film.
