The trippy “Love Me” will get attention because Kristen Stewart always does. Even her costar Steven Yeun said he took the part because, as he said at the premiere on Friday, “She’s dope.”
But the film, playing in dramatic competition at Sundance, isn’t a love story by any conventional definition. It could explain why the movie got warm, if not overwhelming, applause during its debut screening.
Filmmakers Sam and Andy Zuchero described it in about the simplest terms as you can get considering the film’s logline: “Long after humanity’s extinction, a buoy and a satellite meet online and fall in love.”
