Love Lies Bleeding 2024

A neo-noir romantic thriller set in a dusty New Mexico town in 1989, Love Lies Bleeding tells the story of the intense relationship between two women, a reclusive gym manager named Lou and an ambitious bodybuilder named Jackie. Directed by Rose Glass (known for Saint Maud) and co-written with Weronika Tofilska, the film stars Kristen Stewart as Lou and Katy O'Brian as Jackie, alongside a cast including Ed Harris as Lou Sr., Lou's powerful and menacing estranged father who runs a local criminal operation, and Dave Franco and Jena Malone as Lou's abusive brother-in-law and sister. Lou is immediately smitten with Jackie, who is passing through on her way to a bodybuilding competition in Las Vegas, and their passionate affair quickly escalates as Lou offers Jackie steroids to aid her training. Their romance soon ignites a powder keg of violence, drawing them deep into the dangerous web of Lou Sr.'s criminal family. When Jackie, in a fit of steroid-fueled rage, brutally murders Lou's sister's abusive husband, Lou attempts to cover up the crime and frame her father. The film is a stylish, blood-soaked tale of obsession, desire, and survival, featuring surreal body-horror elements and a shocking climax that sees the lovers confront Lou Sr. and their own dark impulses. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2024 and was released theatrically in the United States by A24 in March 2024. Read More
