I agree on "Interstellar" and "Ex Machina", but I think Greg missed the point of "Her". True, it doesn't nearly do justice to the themes of artificial intelligence and human-machine interaction. But that's because it's not meant to--it's really just a romantic little film about human relationships and the difficulty of achieving intimacy and trust in the modern world. It never even attempts to explore, let alone explain, any differences between "Samantha" and actual humans--as portrayed, she's simply a fully human female with the unusual quirk of happening to live in cyberspace. And any sci-fi-heavy exposition regarding her technological nature would only have detracted from the film's very touching, and very human, charm.
