Love Me

I can swear that the directors have watched melodysheep on YouTube.

The beginning showing the timeline of earth has a similar feel to their videos on YouTube not even mentioning the font used to show the years.

That's all. Just find it interesting.

Just started watching the movie, let's see how it goes!

I love both Kristen and Steven so this should be a good time. Just filling in the words now for word count. The robots look cute.

Is it decided that the theory of another planet (theia) colliding with earth been adopted as working theory? I don't know

With the asteriod coming in 2032, we will see how it goes.

Love Me (2024) is a stunningly heartfelt film that delivers a profound exploration of love, loss, and redemption. Steven Yeun's performance is nothing short of extraordinary; he brings an emotional depth and authenticity that resonates deeply, making every scene feel raw and genuine. The story unfolds with a delicate balance of humor and poignancy, supported by a beautifully crafted script and breathtaking cinematography. The direction is masterful, guiding the narrative with subtlety and grace while keeping the audience emotionally invested throughout.

The film's score enhances every moment, immersing the audience in its emotional landscape, and the supporting cast contributes equally compelling performances, creating a rich tapestry of relationships and emotions. Every element, from the nuanced dialogue to the visually striking imagery, feels meticulously designed to leave a lasting impact. Love Me is not just a film-it's an experience that lingers long after the credits roll, reminding us of the power of connection and the resilience of the human spirit. A perfect 10/10.

Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

With a really interesting concept, the movie offers some genuinely interesting concepts and ideas, yet, feels a little messy. The filmmakers clearly have a creative concept about the approach of love relationships and technology. To which the narrative, while does get a little unfocused on some of the themes and structures, does provide some interesting components to engage with. The performances from Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun are really good as Stewart and Yeun have really good chemistry between one another.

There are some good uses of computer effects, editing style and color presentations. There are uses of animation throughout and honestly, the animation looks fine but it does feel like something from a cheap mobile app design which was a little distracting. There are some good dialogue moments but some moments feeling a little too fake. Some of the editing choices were a little annoying.

For sure, the movie is definitely creative and while I wished the movie was a little more focused on some of the themes and certain aspects did feel too slow, I still was invested because of Stewart and Yeun's strong chemistry and the filmmakers being able to create something that is different.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Hauntingly Beautiful, Though Not As Tragic As It Could Be**

*Love Me*, starring the always captivating Kristen Stewart and the incredibly nuanced Steven Yeun, is a visually mesmerizing and emotionally intriguing film. The performances alone are worth the full five stars-both actors deliver deeply layered portrayals that linger long after the credits roll. Their chemistry is haunting and intimate, carrying the film even through its slower or more ambiguous moments.

That said, the story itself felt a bit mediocre. I found myself wishing it had leaned harder into tragedy-there were so many opportunities for deeper emotional devastation that the film seemed to pull back from. With a concept this bold and actors this talented, a more tragic arc could have elevated it from memorable to unforgettable.

Still, *Love Me* is an experience. It's strange, slow-burning, and laced with melancholy-just not quite as heart-wrenching as I hoped.

I thought this would be right up my alley, I love indie, weird movies. I also love a unique concept and have no issue with slow burns or just storytelling vs having a plot. I was so excited for this because I love both the leads and thought it was such a cool idea, like Wall-E and Eve. It was genuinely slow and lacked something but I found it entertaining enough. I wouldn't watch it again but am glad I watched it once. My husband always turned it down because it looked too slow so I rented it by myself because I knew my husband would hate it. And he would've most definitely. He needs the story to be fast paced to keep his attention.
