I'm Here

Spike Jonze's latest short film, I'm Here (2010), is about a robot who begins to admire creativity and falls in love after meeting another robot who is more carefree. The film turns out to be a nice character study and fairly traditional love story which is tweaked a little bit. The bizarre yet "realistic" world is surprisingly inviting and the pacing is overwhelming. The warm lighting and smooth camerawork make the film look beautiful. It's also impressive how the special effects blend so well with real footage.

I'm Here is a sweet, little film that I would recommend for everyone although I don't think it is as special as others would say.

Score: 8 out of 10

PS: You can watch the short film online legally and for free here.
