Mixed Reviews for AI Romance Film 'Love Me'

Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun voice AI robots exploring love and identity in a post-human world

"Love Me" is a film about two AI robots, a buoy and a satellite, who form a relationship after humans have gone extinct. The robots, voiced by Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, use social media and internet data to understand and emulate human interaction and relationships.
The film explores themes of identity, love, and the influence of media on our perceptions and expectations of relationships. The robots create a virtual reality space where they interact, initially using rudimentary avatars and later evolving to hyper-real versions of Stewart and Yeun.
The film has received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its originality and ambition, while others criticize it for its tediousness and over-reliance on social media culture for its commentary.
The film's climax involves a sex scene between the robots, which has been described as one of the most intriguing parts of the film. This scene raises questions about desire and the extent to which our feelings are influenced by culture.
Despite its futuristic premise, the film ultimately presents a basic boy-meets-girl story, leading some critics to question why the AI characters do not evolve beyond basic human relationship models given their access to vast amounts of data and infinite time.
