Prime Video’s ‘sensual’ drama Love Me Love Me is perfect for Maxton Hall fans

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on social media after the movie dropped, with many already demanding a sequel. “We need a second one asap,” wrote one viewer, while another added: “Already obsessed with Love Me Love Me!”

A third fan wrote on Rotten Tomatoes: “I absolutely love this movie. I thought the acting was great. Definitely going to start the book series so I can see what happens next. Hope they do a second movie.”

The film centres on June, a 16-year-old who moves to Milan following the death of her brother and enrols at an elite international school.

The synopsis continues: “Here, she finds comfort in dating Will, the school’s perfect honor student. But her fragile stability is shaken by a volatile rivalry with his best friend James – a charismatic, troubled boy hiding a dangerous life in clandestine MMA fights – turning resentment into irresistible attraction and forcing June to choose between safety and a love that challenges everything she thought she wanted.”

Mia Jenkins (Geek Girl) leads the film as June, while Pepe Barroso Silva (Gran Turismo) plays James and Luca Melucci (Mascarpone: The Rainbow Cake) is Will.

They’re joined by Andrea Guo, Michelangelo Vizzini, Madior Fall and Vanessa Donghi. 

Speaking to Variety, Prime Video’s Head of Local Originals Southern Europe Nicole Morganti said: “It’s a four book saga that we’ve obviously optioned in full. The hope is that this one will do so well that we can continue telling this story.”

Reflecting on the film’s unique identity, Nicole highlighted the “extremely sensual and engaging soundtrack, dreamy locations and pop-fluorescent cinematography that reflects the emotional nuances portrayed by Stefania S. in her novel.”
