You usually hear individuals say “You’ve by no means seen something like this,” however within the case of the new movie Love Me, it’s truly true. Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun star because the human avatar variations of a buoy and a satellite tv for pc who fall in love lengthy after humanity has ended. Are you able to even image what that’s? It virtually sounds faux, does it not?
The movie premiered on the Sundance Film Festival last year and is lastly getting a launch later this month on January 31. Meaning, all 12 months, I’ve needed to try to explain this profound, original movie to individuals with simply the image you see above. Now, lastly, the movie has a trailer that does an awesome job of displaying its full, bold, scope.
“The brand new film Love Me takes place over 10 billion years and stars solely two actors who don’t play people,” I wrote in my 2024 review. “It’s half nature movie, half animation, half stage drama, and extremely bold and dense each in scope and theme. Written and directed by Sam and Andy Zuchero, it’s a movie that makes an attempt to seize all the scope of celestial existence in a good, 90-minute package deal, whereas additionally letting a contemporary viewers expertise it in a really particular manner. Does all of it work on a regular basis? No. However it works most of the time, and you’ll’t take your eyes off it since you are always in awe of what you’re seeing, for any variety of causes.”
So, mainly, it’s real-life Wall-E, advised in varied mediums, with two unimaginable actors.
As I mentioned within the overview, Love Me doesn’t wholly work, nevertheless it’s so distinctive, bizarre, candy, and thought-provoking, it’s exhausting to not be enamored with it. Make checking it out a part of your 2025 plans. It comes solely to theaters January 31.
