Orkus! movie tip: “Love Lies Bleeding”

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

Lou (Kristen Stewart) is a lesbian, which doesn’t go down well everywhere. Especially not with JJ (Dave Franco), the husband of her beloved sister Beth (Jena Malone), who repeatedly beats up his wife. Lou has a dull job at the local gym, which, like the town’s shooting range, belongs to her father (Ed Harris) of all people. Lou doesn’t have a good relationship with him. Lou’s life changes completely when Jackie (Katy O’Brian) turns up in town one day. She is a bodybuilder and is actually on her way to a big competition in Las Vegas …

Director Rose Glass, who already made a name for herself in the horror genre in 2019 with “Saint Maud”, tries her hand at a sweaty outsider romance in the bodybuilder milieu and an abysmal family drama at the same time. This attempt succeeds across the board!
