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.

Critics Consensus

Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun are appealing leads, but Love Me's admirable narrative reach exceeds its grasp.

Kristy Puchko

Mashable

An oddly hopeful movie set in on a dead Earth, Love Me is about how even a robot might wade through the mess of societal expectations, internet white noise, and chronic self-doubt, and be able to achieve the truly radical — self-acceptance.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

I rather enjoyed this. I had to let it overwhelm me because it's a bit of an interesting conception: thoughtful, funny, creative in terms of concept and execution.

Mick LaSalle

San Francisco Chronicle

Still, every so often “Love Me” finds a certain feeling and tone, where we can feel the vastness of human longing and measure it against the yet greater vastness and consuming blackness of space.

Rated: 2/4

Its commentary on the artificiality we create in our lives, white trite, is affecting in the end.

Common Sense Media

It's difficult to describe this strange, millennia-spanning sci-fi romance, let alone decide whether it's actually good, but, ultimately, the two leads make it worth a look.

Rated: 3/5

The result is an exercise in creating humanity that never manages to find its own.

A buoy and a satellite create a virtual life for themselves and live at least a billion years…not something I ever thought I would be seeing on the big screen, but here we are! This is a very unique film and rather ambitious in its message and structure. I am not quite sure it worked completely and might have been better if not a full length movie. I do get the much larger message this one was trying to convey, but I think it missed the mark of most of it. Certainly watchable and very unique. I think it is a one time viewing experience though.

I Love It's Originality And Idea But That's It, The Writing Could've Been Executed Much Better In The Hands Of a Capable Writer, Not Bad But I Won't Tell My Friends To Watch This. I Wish I Loved It, The Actors Are Likable And The Hybrid Animation And Live Action Is Great.
