Lust, love, and violence form a perfect concentric circle in this gripping neo-noir from Rose Glass, with searing turns by Kristen Stewart and Ed Harris and a knockout debut by newcomer (and IU alumna!) Katy O'Brian.
From director Rose Glass comes an electric new love story. Reclusive gym manager Lou (Kristen Stewart) falls hard for Jackie (Katy O'Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family. Love Lies Bleeding premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. [104 min; action, adventure, crime; English]
"Love Lies Bleeding's total lack of filter is its greatest strength. It’s the sort of film you instinctively want to tuck under a mattress: hot, nasty and mouth-wateringly disreputable, this is cinema with nothing to lose." — Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
"For those who can revel in the blood-soaked, complicated, sapphic delights that make up the backbone of the film, the saga of Lou and Jackie will be one for the ages." — Alejandra Martinez, Austin Chronicle
"Love Lies Bleeding doesn’t have time for a slow burn. It’s a movie that comes in hot and leaves in a molten blaze of glory." — David Fear, Rolling Stone
