Frequently astonishing, mad, Oscar/BAFTA-winning, funny script has you frequently open-mouthed as Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with his computer's operating system, voiced by Scarlett Johanssen, who is excellent. (The great Amy Adams is in it too.) It was amusing that she won Best Actress at the Rome Film Festival, especially when you think that Italian films are usually dubbed (she was ineligible for the Golden Globe who rule that you must be visible, which would have just made Claude Rains OK for The Invisible Man!)
Hearing Scarlett reminded me of Woody Allen saying how funny she was, and that whatever smart joke he came out with she would go one better.
Problem with a film of such a weird concept is knowing how to stop / get out of it. Ultimately it can rather disappear into its own crazy world.
