Love Me Ratings & Reviews
- RyezooFebruary 4, 2025You wanna watch a buoy fuck a satellite sponsored by Blue Apron? I can get down with unique movies but at about 30 mins in the novelty wore it’s corse for me. Billions of years and past the human exsistence but it took ai a billion more to get past Snapchat emojify avatars. Talented actors I love, feel like they might as well be improving for fun in a acting class. If it wasn’t for them I’d mark this down for 1. Do not recommend even for those curious.
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Loved the live action Wall-E vibes at the outset but found most of the rest of the films exploration a little boring and not all that insightful. A bajillion years (I can’t remember specifically how many) after life expired on planet earth, a SMART buoy, and a Satellite make a connection. The satellite has the entire recorded history of the internet in memory and the buoy starts surfing the web in hopes of forging a connection with the satellite. Buoy attempts to synthesize human life and relationships based almost entirely on family Youtube channels, one in particular that stars Deja and Liam (Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun — who also provide the voices for buoy and satellite). Buoy and satellite take on the names ME and I.AM, respectively, and they attempt a simulated relationship. Me spend a lot of time focusing on mimicking Deja and Liam’s relationship exactly, while I.AM starts to want to branch out and do things differently. Thematically, it touches on how “finding happiness” is a inherently a pretty self-serving goal. Their names along with the film’s title Love Me, signify the importance of self. We all want to be loved. But relationships require more than than just going through the motions—and more than just self-serving behavior. As Me and I.Am iterate and reiterate on their relationship it felt like watching an animated couples therapy session. Interesting idea for a film, but I was left wanting. And for a film that stars only Stewart and Yeun, it weirdly still felt like they weren’t in it enough.
- Eldon McGuinnessFebruary 20, 2025A movie that tries to tackle the ideas of being and relationships through the lens of two AIs, who can only base their initial idea of existence and what interaction should be like on a society that used to be. The characters go through a journey of learning not just about what it means to be alive but also what it means to just simply "be". If this sounds kind of heady, that is because it is. While a little slow at times, the "evolution" of the characters happens in a way that gives you a clear marking of different "eras" in their existence. This is one movie that everyone will see a little differently. It was a joy to see the characters grow in their understanding both personal and interpersonal, while also learning that one's current understanding should never be so rigid as to prevent being open to new things. In the end, the movie leaves the characters in a boundless existence where they get to shape their lives both independently and together, all while floating through an ever-changing universe that marches on with or without them, definitely a mirror of life at its most basic level.
