Synopsis

In a story that spans billions of years, a buoy and a satellite meet online long after humanity’s extinction. As they learn what life was like on Earth, they discover themselves and what it means to be alive and in love. In this groundbreaking first feature from directors Sam and Andy Zuchero, Love Me explores contemporary topics surrounding technology and identity, though at its heart is a simple, emotionally resonant tale of transformation. Thrillingly utilizing filmmaking techniques from live-action, practical animatronics, classic animation and game engines, and anchored in enthralling performances by Stewart and Yeun, Love Me culminates in the longest-spanning love story ever told.

Reviews

Alejandra Martinez in a TheWrap review praised the film, writing, “It’s a sweeping, sweet and unique romance that works across different mediums to deliver something thoughtful that isn’t afraid to wear its heart on its sleeve.”

Brian Tallerico in a RogerEbert.com review wrote, “Stewart and Yeun are typically great, finding ways to make their progression from tech to human feel real, but “Love Me” too often feels like an idea in search of a movie.”
