I'm Here (2010)
Director: Spike Jonze
Writer: Spike Jonze
Cast: Andrew Garfield, Sienna Guillory, Annie Hardy
A robot library assistant plods through an ordinary life in L.A. until a chance meeting opens his eyes to the power of creativity and ultimately, love. When things begin to fall apart, he discovers he has a lot to give.

Charming technically impressive short by director Spike Jonze, plot follows a lonely robot Sheldon as he works his dull job, then goes back to his dull one bed apartment. One day while waiting for the bus home, a fembot Francesca drives by and smiles, the next day they get chatting. Eventually they build a relationship together but Francescas self destructive nature asks too much of Sheldon.

Extremely warm hearted little movie that basically deals with how destructive relationships will eventually tear you apart. Visually it oozes quality and the robots act and feel as human as well humans act and feel. The soundtracks amazing as well, not sure who the characters are based on but to me Francesca came across like Bjork, someone whom Jonze as made fantastic videos for before. Highly recommended.
