Love Lies Bleeding

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.

The whole concept just seemed like a bunch of either insanely violent or insanely lesbian stuff got thrown together into a movie. The acting was great because there were good actors but again the story just felt random and all over the place; one minute it feels like you’re watching The L-Word and then it switches to Breaking Bad and wraps up with the ending of Dude, Where’s My Car. Also the roid rage was valid but having the whole super natural thing at the end was not it. To top it all off the movie was excessively violent and specifically what happens to that blonde girl in the very end rubbed me the wrong way.

A meaningless slow to start heap of trash that mistakes style for substance. This is what constitutes filmmaking nowadays? Such a waste of a great cast, especially Harris.

I have trusted in rotten tomatoes for years as the indicator of a good film. I’m now constantly disappointed and think there surely will be a new true challenger website to come through. The films like this you give 90+% to are insults to Truly good films that deserve it.
