Her

(2013)

Often when I've loved a film enough at first sight to preorder the DVD asap, I return to it after the one-year recommended rest period eager to see whether I disagree at all with my initial impression (if you're new here or you've not heard me mention this before, a previous review, when one exists, can be accessed via the title link).

Answer: not a whit. However, one addition: in marveling a year ago at the performances of the lead actors (including the unseen one, regardless of her billing), I neglected to mention what an extraordinary treatment Amy Adams gives to Amy, the quietly pining friend whose relatively thankless function is to give Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) a flesh-and-blood sounding board and shoulder to cry on.
