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 Consensus

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.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

Not many artists are this brave when it comes to probing at our sexual desires, and what they reveal about us.

Rated: 4/5

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

If Saint Maude was a slow burn portrait of loneliness and obsession with a killer's sting on its tail, this is a brilliantly visceral sucker punch of a film.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

This is a movie that will find its people. And once it does, cult status is more or less assured.

Rated: 4/5

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

The film is dark and often intensely gruesome, but there's a terrific undercurrent of raw emotion even in the more outrageous situations. So as it closes its grip on us, the movie becomes a skilfully lurid, heady mix of romance, murder and bodybuilding.

Rated: 4/5

City AM

this caper lives up to the internet hype, cementing its two stars as cult heroes, and confirming its director as an exciting talent.

Rated: 4/5

Tom Shone

Sunday Times (UK)

Kristen Stewart gives the performance she’s been wanting to give her whole career in Rose Glass’s Love Lies Bleeding, a hard-knuckled, hard-boiled B-movie on steroids that comes on like a cross between the Coen brothers’ Blood Simple and Thelma & Louise.

Rated: 3/5
