Love Lies Bleeding

Tarantino esk fun messed up movie. Steamy scenes as a bonus

Was good until it wasn’t.

There's a lot going on. There's a lot of good stuff going on. Just throw yourself into this deliciously bloody mess.

Love Lies Bleeding is a bold and visually striking exploration of excess, blending camp, nostalgia, and chaos. The film excels in its performances, with Katy O'Brien and Kristen Stewart delivering intense, layered portrayals. Director Ben Fordesman crafts a world where every shot is deliberate, making the film visually compelling and emotionally charged. While its pacing dips and the campy nature may alienate some, its unapologetic embrace of absurdity makes for a wild, unforgettable ride.

Good movie. Little weird at the end, but good movie.

This is a near-perfect movie from a young, female director! The cast is small and fantastic, the script is highly original and the film kept me engaged from start to finish, the sets and cinematography are beautiful, and the soundtrack is full of bangers you may never have heard. Would not recommend for family movie night as there are some very hot sex scenes between Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brian (learn from my mistake :)

What an unexpected (and most welcome) surprise! Love Kristen Stewart in anything and Ed Harris is always a treat. Still was expecting another so-so lesbian love story, mainly bc I hadn't heard anything about the movie. Well, there def wasn't anything so-so about this movie! ................................The love scenes were so raw and real, it was like watching something filmed with a hidden nanny-cam, not love/sex scenes scribted & made for audiences. Felt so personal and intimate. Major cudos to the director and actresses for having the courage to bring scenes like that to film. I think this movie might awaken some people to understanding why/how women love each other...................And visually & otherwise, Ed Harris was a hoot, loved everything about him in this movie. Especially loved, how much I hated him! LOL Casting, writing, directing was truly exceptional. This is one of the best films I've seen this year.

Loved it. Off beat and entertaining. Ed Harris can do no wrong.

This film is extremely good. I went in not knowing anything about it or even seeing a trailer and was pleasantly surprised. At first I thought it was going to be one thing and then it changed several times throughout the movie. It doesn't fit in a box or I can't think of a film it's comparable to. The acting is wonderful. The story builds but I didn't find it being a chore to get through. The plot is easy to follow. There are a couple of scenes that are just "wtf is happening". I don't think I'd choose to rewatch it but I also would have no issue watching it again.

Loses just a little bit of the punch on rewatch, but an insanely involving narrative with phenomenal performances.
