Love Me

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. A cute, slow, and creative AI love story spanning a gazillion apocalyptic years, revolving around a curious buoy and an assistive satellite. The performances were great and amplified by the sound design. I overthought every existential narrative, from self-discovery to the internet to emotion to influence to life itself. There are so many similar cycles we experience so differently. I don't know if I make sense anymore. Would give it a solid 7 if it wasn't a short film in disguise, oh and I didn't like the mocap animation. Decent for a directorial debut though.

Had the potential to be soul crushing beyond. Still rather good and thought provoking/ reflective, modern decency

A beautiful and creative film about what it means to be human and the desire to always have connections with others. Great performances and one of the best of the year so far

I enjoyed the last 30 minutes, but found the first hour dragging on. I also didn’t love the animation style, I think a more stylized version would have made it more interesting. But overall, it was okay, I didn’t particularly enjoy my time, but the actors almost made it worth it

Certainly a unique romance built with creativity and strong performances. I thought I wouldn’t like it but I surprisingly did. With better execution this has the potential to be great.
6.5/10

The surprisingly touching film, and another example of artificial intelligence growing beyond its original programming. 500 years after the end of life on Earth, a “smart buoy” makes contact with a satellite overhead that was left behind with all the knowledge of humankind.
