Sundance 2024: ‘Love Me’ is an Inventive Sci-Fi Tale of Defining ‘You’
Are you really you? What makes you, you? The important existential questions of our time. Modern society has moved to the defensive belief that, of course everyone is themselves, of course you can't argue with that! How dare you question that!

What if most people are actually living fake lives, trying to replicate and model some other person they look up to, instead of defining themselves authentically. This is the idea that this mesmerizing new film grapples with – in a fascinating, visually compelling, and unquestionably thought-provoking way. Love Me is one of the most innovative films I have seen so far in 2024 (while wading through the terrific Sundance 2024 selection). It's got a few flaws, and it doesn't dig deep enough into these questions and concepts, but it's still an ambitious, one-of-a-kind cinematic creation unlike anything I've encountered before. The premise: in the future after humanity is gone, a leftover "smart buoy" and a satellite orbiting Earth connect and fall in love.
