Is 'Love Me' streaming? How to watch one of our favorite movies of 2025.
Table of Contents
Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun explore love at the end of the world in Love Me, one of the most original —and charming — movies you'll see this year. Part live-action, part animation, and part chaotic blend of YouTube clips and the best and worst of the internet, the Sundance stunner can best be categorized as a post-apocalyptic will-they-won't-they romance. It explores AI, our relationship with social media, and the endless journey of self-love.
Whether you skipped the theater or want to watch it again, Love Me officially started streaming on June 16. Here's everything you need to know.
What is Love Me about?
Written and directed by Sam Zuchero and Andy Zuchero, Love Me is a sci-fi drama about love, consciousness, and identity. It follows a buoy (Kristen Stewart), frozen in the ocean and programmed to learn from its surroundings, and a satellite (Steven Yeun), a time capsule of the planet's past, long after humanity's extinction. The buoy is entranced by the satellite and looks to understand love through cached videos of influencers on the internet. The machines begin to mimic mankind, but can they find a love of their own and learn who they are beyond the internet personas?
"An oddly hopeful movie set in a dead Earth, Love Me is about how even a robot might wade through the mess of societal expectations, internet white noise, and chronic self-doubt, and be able to achieve the truly radical — self-acceptance," Mashable Film Editor Kristy Puchko writes.
Here's the full trailer:
Is Love Me worth watching?
Love Me has some truly mixed reviews. Mashable's own reviewer raved about it, calling it a "bittersweet but beautiful film that is resoundingly humane." It even made our list of the best movies of 2025 (so far).
Meanwhile, the film has only a 46 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the overall consensus that "its admirable narrative reach exceeds its grasp." Audiences so far are leaning toward the positive end of the spectrum; it's currently holding a 62 percent audience rating.
The good news is art is subjective, so while some critics may turn their nose up, it may be your favorite film of the year. There's only one way to find out.
