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.

4/5

Stewart and O’Brian are terrific together in a credible but decidedly unsentimental romance -- this is a world of sweat, dirt, violence and terrible decisions.

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

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

3/5

The arch, faux-grindhouse erotic thriller Love Lies Bleeding, never less than totally self-satisfied for being so totally self-aware, is a whiz-bang rendering of a scuzzy lezploitation B-movie.

Love Lies Bleeding is an intriguing blend of family crime drama and a twisted love story. The film is propelled by strong performances, particularly from Kristen Stewart, who takes on a character unlike any we've seen from her before.

4/5

A wild, proudly pulpy ride that throbs with energy and puts an original spin on somewhat familiar crime story elements.

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