Love Me Like You Hate Me is a beautifully choreographed dance between Margaret Qualley and Shia LaBeouf. We are presented with two alternative viewpoints at the same time, showing the dual nature of the protagonists and the two contradicting themes: love and hate. The camera work is flawless and takes us right into the action. The earthen color palettes of both scenes add to the mood and work almost like a photo negative. Margaret Qualley and Shia LaBeouf both present us with honest, captivating, fearless and self confident performances. The acting is fitting and well paced. The beauty of Margaret Qualley is only eclipsed by the film itself. The sound work is perfect as well, starting with breathing and an electric organ, which seamlessly transitions into the beautiful song "Love Me Like You Hate Me" by artist Rainsford (Rainey Qualley). The short film and the song are an ideal match, letting me wonder which one was first conceived. The film ends again with breathing as well as the electric organ, expressing the circular nature of the film. For me this short film is about finding happiness in relationships even when life is hard sometimes and director Luke Turner couldn't have done a better job. 10/10

I don't understand the bad reviews that talk about the movie being a bad sequel. This is absolutely not the case. It is just as cheesy and funny and ridiculous as the first one. If you liked the first one you will like this one.
