STARRING
Kristen Stewart | Katy O’Brian | Ed HarrisJust two days after Timothée, for fans of Kristen Stewart, this is for you! (Note, this film is on a WEDNESDAY.) Of course, your interest in these stars should not be mutually exclusive, so why not come and see both films?
This is an erotic thriller, set in New Mexico, where Kristen plays Lou, manager of a run-down, out-of-town gym with a diverse iron-pumping clientele. When Jackie (played by Katy O’Brian) appears, Lou is immediately attracted and offers help for her new client to prepare for a body-building competition in Las Vegas. Soon they are sharing more intimate moments. The thrills begin as they are drawn closer to Lou’s unstable and criminal family.
This is a genre-bending movie from British director, Rose Glass. It mixes lesbian romance with crime thriller and fantasy, a blend that works well in what is only the director’s second feature. The first was the psychological horror, St Maud (2019), which earned two BAFTA nominations in 2021. Meanwhile, Love Lies Bleeding has picked up several awards and numerous nominations. It is also one of the Top Ten Independent Films of 2024, selected by the US National Board of Review of Motion Pictures.
Timothée or Kristen? Kristen or Timothée? OK, both!
