The moment I finished watching ‘Her’, I knew it would win the Oscar Award for best screenplay; this story of a man falling in love with the OS (operative system) of his computer expresses the sort of intimacy people are developing with intelligent machines on the internet.

The art design is brilliant, futuristic but warm; the arc of colour, from yellow to salmon or watermelon, integrates every aspect of the film.
