Noir Thriller - Different And Splendid - Love Lies Bleeding review by GI
With a Grindhouse vibe this noir thriller is great not least due to the top performance from Kristen Stewart, an actor of considerable talent. She plays Lou, the manager of a small town gym, where she has the mundane duties of clearing blocked toilets and dealing with the testosterone fuelled customers. Then into her life comes Jackie (Katy O'Brien), a gay body builder, devastatingly attractive and passing through on her way to a competition in Las Vegas. They begin a relationship and fall in love but Lou introduces her to steroids which affects Jackie in a surreal way especially when the two of them have to contend with Lou's nasty brother in law (Dave Franco) and his abuse of her sister (Jena Malone) and Lou's crimelord father (Ed Harris), a seedy gun range owner with a very bad past. This is a tale of murder, revenge all wrapped around a theme of feminine control. It goes in directions you'll not expect and is a constant joy, very often because it is firmly tongue in cheek and humorous. What's particularly great here is that whilst it goes over-the-top it also remains very subtle mostly due to the fantastically nuanced performance of Stewart.

Pushes Boudaries - Love Lies Bleeding review by griggs
A remarkable cinematic feat, especially impressive as only the second feature from its director. The film combines bold storytelling with exceptional filmmaking, pushing narrative boundaries with audacity. It captivates with its complex themes and innovative direction, marking the director as a significant talent in contemporary cinema.

A film of two halves - Love Lies Bleeding review by MB
This movie starts off really well in true American-indie style: great broody synth soundtrack, unique characters, a sense of emptiness in the setting and a really nasty bad guy (a glorious Ed Harris). But then... the 'big event' happens about halfway through and it all goes downhill from there with no sense of direction, in what is quite frankly, a chaotic mess of a second half. Probably deserves 2.5 but nearer 3 stars than 2. Just.
