Love Lies Bleeding

A delirious, '80s-inflected, exploitation romance drama, Rose Glass' ("Saint Maud") second feature ("Saint Maud") is both dreamy and nightmarish, talking about love, revenge, bodies, violence and lust. Kristen Stewart and (apocalyptic) Katie O'Brien are given their all in the film - soul and body.

Synopsis
