So, yes, “Her” is about a guy who falls in love with his computer. That will be the shorthand you hear about the new drama starring Joaquin Phoenix from writer/director Spike Jonze. There’s more to it than that, of course, but if you're tempted to tune out based on that dismissive description, don't. "Her" is the best film of 2013, and possibly the kookiest. Despite the silly premise, the film is anything but; there is not a drop of cynicism or irony in this lovely, sad contemplation on love and loneliness.
