Love Lies Bleeding (15)

BAFTA-nominated and critically acclaimed for Saint Maud, British director Rose Glass returns with a queer love story/edge of the seat thriller set in a small town in the New Mexico desert, Love Lies Bleeding. Kristen Stewart stars as reclusive gym manager Lou, who falls hard for Jackie (Katy O’Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder passing through town en route to pursuing her dreams in Las Vegas. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family – led by her father (a tanned, taciturn Ed Harris, sporting a truly chilling hairstyle) – and threatening disaster. “Visceral and heady, this is a blood-soaked, all-American fable that’s as if Thelma And Louise literally went on steroids.” Empire Magazine.
