"Love Me" is a tedious AI romance film that follows the love story of two star-crossed pieces of metal, a buoy and a satellite, over 13.7 billion years. Despite the ambitious premise, the movie gradually loses its appeal and becomes trite and predictable. The film, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, features strong voice performances from Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun but fails to deliver a compelling emotional foundation, resulting in a brain-frying and emotionally hollow experience.
