Filled with longing, love, and heartbreak, Orion Carloto manages to write down her feelings in a way that makes the reader feel as if they were feeling them themselves. I often could feel my heart breaking and Carloto's memories slipping into my mind -I could picture the house in Portugal, the bar where she celebrated her twenty-third birthday, the beach she got drunk in in France. Orion Carloto wrote about the pain she endured but, at the same time, talked about hope. Maybe she didn't do it directly -she never really mentioned it, if I'm honest-, but the whole book feels like a learning experience; upon finishing it, I feel as if I've learnt acceptance, and as if I'm ready to love again.Torres, Eric (February 10, 2021).

Richard Roeper said that the film was "one of the more original, hilarious and even heartbreaking stories of the year" and called Phoenix "perfectly cast". [53] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times named it "at once a brilliant conceptual gag and a deeply sincere romance." [54] Claudia Puig of USA Today called the performance of Phoenix and Johansson "sensational" and "pitch-perfect", respectively. She further praised the film for being "inventive, intimate and wryly funny". [55] Scott Mendelson of Forbes called Her "a creative and empathetic gem of a movie", praising Johansson's "marvelous vocal performance" and the supporting performances of Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, and Amy Adams. [56] Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail said that the film was "gentle and weird", praised its humor, and opined that it was more similar to Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York than Jonze's Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. However, Lacey also stated that Phoenix's performance was "authentically vulnerable", but that "his emotionally arrested development also begins to weigh the film down."

The Pillow Book (1995)

There's lots of emotion there, but the language is too simultaneously straightforward and vague for me to really enjoy. 2.5 stars. Deeper Understanding", a song by Kate Bush originally released in 1989 about a relationship between a lonely person and a computer. Theodore meets with Catherine to sign their divorce papers. When he mentions Samantha, Catherine is appalled that he is romantically attracted to a "computer" and accuses him of being incapable of handling real human emotions. Sensing that Catherine's words have lingered in Theodore's mind, Samantha hires a sex surrogate, Isabella, to simulate Samantha so that they can be physically intimate. Theodore reluctantly agrees, but is overwhelmed by the strangeness of the encounter and sends a distraught Isabella away, causing tension between himself and Samantha.
