IMDb plot summary: A postapocalyptic romance in which a buoy and a satellite meet online and fall in love after the end of human civilization.
Directed by Andrew Zuchero and Sam Zuchero. Stars Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun.
Love Me is a sci-fi romance set in the future, when humanity has collapsed, and two remaining robots -- one smart buoy in the ocean and one satellite in the atmosphere -- fall in love and explore what it might mean to be human. This movie was everything I wanted it to be, and more. The creativity of the way this romance was portrayed and how these characters began to discover each other and themselves was so engaging and funny and sweet, and I was there for it the whole way. Steven Yeun and Kristen Stewart are so engaging, even when they're just voices, and their romance is strange and totally charming. This does that thing that great sci-fi does in which it demonstrates marvelous insight into humanity and human relationships by highlighting characters who are NOT human, and it's a ton of fun along the way, as well as being creative and thoughtful. Looking up reviews for this movie, I'm a little startled that not everybody loved it as much as I did, but I'd definitely recommend it. A surprising and wonderful watch.
