Sci-Fi Romance 'Love Me' Explores AI, Identity, and Connection

Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun star as sentient robots navigating love and self-discovery in a post-human world.

'Love Me,' directed by Sam and Andy Zuchero, is a sci-fi romance featuring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun as the voices of a buoy and satellite in a post-apocalyptic Earth.
The film uses a mix of animatronics, animation, and live-action to depict the evolution of its AI characters as they explore human emotions and relationships.
The story follows the buoy and satellite developing consciousness and navigating love, with themes of identity, transformation, and the search for connection.
The film’s experimental approach includes motion-capture performances and digital avatars inspired by modern internet culture, such as the Metaverse.
Praised for its unique narrative and visual styles, 'Love Me' premiered at Sundance, winning the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize, and is now in theaters.
