MPR's Movie Maven and Cube Critic Stephanie Curtis joins Steve Seel and Jill Riley to discuss Her, the new romantic comedy/drama starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Spike Jonze.

Her is a love story that explores the nature of relationships in the modern world. Phoenix plays a man who falls in love with "Samantha" (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), the voice of his computer's new operating system.

Rated R for language, sexual content and brief graphic nudity, Her is playing in very wide release.

Stephanie also recommends The Past, a dramatic mystery from Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, now showing at the Landmark Uptown Theatre in Minneapolis.
