Critics Consensus

Lust and violence collide to powerfully pulpy effect in Love Lies Bleeding, a well-acted addition to writer-director Rose Glass' growing body of exceptional work.

Audience Says

Love Lies Bleeding tells a stylish, slow-burning story with some great performances, although it takes some big risks toward the end that won't pay off for everyone.

Rose Glass's gory sensibility is put to good use in this steroid-popping, hyper-violent love story.

Rated: 5/5

Once you get the interior ugliness of everyone involved, you may be able to chuckle at some of the violence, ha ha.

Rated: 1/5

El Hunt

London Evening Standard

And besides: absurdist, gasp-inducing, melodramatic, and often intensely violent right through to the grisly, surrealist end, Love Lies Bleeding is entertaining enough without having to do all of the heavy-lifting.

Rated: 4/5

...you can tell things aren't going to end well from the beginning, but the chemistry between the two stars just seemed to crackle off the screen like no other film I saw this year.

Rated: B+

Vladan Petkovic

Cineuropa

If Rose Glass's debut Saint Maud was a tautly disciplined and focused horror film, Love Lies Bleeding is its polar opposite: a steamy lesbian romance, a crime-thriller with fantasy elements and a feminist statement that doesn't shy away from camp.

Love Lies Bleeding, Rose Glass’ gloriously bizarre follow up to Saint Maud, is a marvellous feat of muscular filmmaking.

How many lesbian crime thrillers have you seen? Exactly. It keeps pace and brings chick love and crime into the mainstream.
