I found this movie on Netflix streaming movies.
It is primarily a relationship story about a young married couple. He is a programmer and she is in customer service. He is bright but "technical" while she is bright and friendly with lots of empathy.
Martin Starr is the programmer, Joe Larsen, his project is designing something that most of us encounter every time we make a call to a company. A software system that uses human voices and programmed to find out what you need and direct you to the appropriate department. Something real people used to do, just a few years ago.
Joe was having difficulty with the voice until he realized that his cute wife, Mae Whitman as Emily Klein, had the perfect voice and perfect characteristics for his project. Against her better judgment she let him record conversations she made in the normal course of her job and he in turn used her as his source for the programming.
Had it only been that everything would have been fine. However it takes a darker turn as Joe begins to pay more attention to his programmed voice than to his wife. To the point that he was relying on the computerized conversations for sexual arousal.
The reason I found this movie worthwhile is it explores, in a fictional way, the impact of technology on our personal lives and how it may easily interfere with normal human relationships. Both actors are excellent in their roles.
