The concept of falling for an operating system is surprisingly enough not new after the highly successful Spike Jonze film Her, but here to throw in another take on the subject is Operator. Directed by Logan Kibens in her feature directorial debut, starring Martin Starr, Mae Whitman, Nat Faxon, Retta, Cameron Esposito and Christine Lahti. A programmer and his wife, a budding comedy performer, work together to create the perfect call centre program but their relationship spirals out of control when he begins to replace her with an ideal computerised replica. At this point it’s not entirely a new idea but with these two leads (Starr and Whitman) they can really push this into being something very interesting, check out the trailer:
