Imagine Wall-e but instead of the cute love story, it’s one drenched in self-loathing & existential dread. Wish it had more focus, so much of it feels lost in its own sci-fi sauce— wish even more that half of it didn’t take place in the metaverse, but Yeun and Stewart are so incredible that I still found myself liking it, even if I wanted to love it.

It’s hard to say what’s more impressive: That a married filmmaking duo made a romantic drama that covers 13.7 billion years and includes a scene where a buoy fucks a satellite, or that Sam and Andy Zuchero’s debut feature — a tedious movie that gradually squanders all of the goodwill earned by the creative ambition behind it — somehow manages to feel trite and predictable in spite of that premise.
As much as I respect the chutzpah required to jump directly from short films to what might be the longest-spanning love story ever told, time ironically proves to be the undoing of a movie about two star-crossed pieces of metal who can’t even feel it pass. Their struggle to keep…

The more I think about this movie the more problems I have with it. Would have been an amazing short but as it stands it feels very long for a 92 minute movie. Cute and nice at times, creative intro - ultimately just felt a little to ~fake~ in the end.

Loved the live action Wall-E vibes at the outset but found most of the rest of the films exploration a little boring and not all that insightful. A bajillion years (I can’t remember specifically how many) after life expired on planet earth, a SMART buoy, and a Satellite make a connection. The satellite has the entire recorded history of the internet in memory and the buoy starts surfing the web in hopes of forging a connection with the satellite. Buoy attempts to synthesize human life and relationships based almost entirely on family Youtube channels, one in particular that stars Deja and Liam (Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun — who also provide the voices for buoy and satellite). Buoy and satellite… -
LOVE ME takes a lot of big creative swings in its existential, pessimistic love story. I was a bit mixed on most of them, mainly the rough CGI & animation. However, Steven Yeun & Kristen Stewart at least make it somewhat watchable. Spans billions of years but might've been more effective as a short film.

Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun are trapped in the metaverse and we need to get them out ASAP
-
This film logically does not make sense (why is Steven Yeun trying to discover water???); but it does work emotionally, I think.
-
Well ok... Certainly a concept.
What really sucks is you can't even be like "well at least you get to look at Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun" because NO they are either a buoy and satellite or Sims ass avatars for most of the movie. -
This movie felt like it was written by a mom who spends all day on their phone watching Facebook videos and won't stop sharing the links with you through text messages.
I would be embarrassed to ask anyone to be in this, let alone use Academy Award nominees like this in my movie. It also feels like one big commercial for Meta products and Blue Apron. I wouldn't be shocked to find out Zuckerberg secretly funded this whole movie—it was a genuinely awful experience.
The singular star is for the switch from animation to live action, AN HOUR INTO THE FUCKING MOVIE. But even then, the screenplay is painful.
Lousy start to Sundance.

I watched this at Sundance online!
See, the thing is, when I saw a brief description of this movie that said Stewart and Yeun play a buoy and a satellite, I thought that would be a metaphor.
I'll be interested to see how this movie lands with audiences and critics. The film is bizarre, and I'm not sure it's accessible, but as a piece of art, it is intriguing. I will be interested in watching the Zucheros career.
