A star rating of 5 out of 5.
James Mottram
Kristen Stewart leads this fabulously grungy neo-noir, a crime film that takes bold risks that pay off handsomely. In late 1980s New Mexico, Stewart's gym manager Lou falls for Jackie (Katy O'Brian), a bodybuilder breezing through town. The opportunistic Jackie sticks around, getting a waitressing job at the gun range owned by Lou's creepy father (Ed Harris). When Lou's brother-in-law (Dave Franco) gets violent with her sister (Jena Malone), it sets the girls on a dangerous collision course with Lou's criminal family. Taut, stylish and at times downright weird, Love Lies Bleeding more than fulfils the promise shown by its British co-writer/director Rose Glass, who made her debut with acclaimed 2019 horror Saint Maud. Stewart is excellent, but it's O'Brian who steals the film with a masterful, muscular performance. Harris, Franco and Malone offer killer support, while Glass conjures a yarn that beautifully nods to both David Lynch's Lost Highway and David Cronenberg's A History of Violence. Stupendous, from start to the blood-soaked finish.
