Set in the 1980s, Love Lies Bleeding follows Lou (Kristen Stewart), a gym manager who is just trying to get by. One day, Jackie (Katy O’Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder enters the gym and the duo grow extremely close. As their love story takes shape, Lou is forced to deal with her past, namely her father, Lou Sr. (Ed Harris), who is the head of a criminal organization the FBI has their eyes on.
Why watch now: Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian get to be gay and do crimes. If that doesn’t sell you, I don’t know what will here. I’m a ride or die Kristen fan, so when I had the chance to see this movie, I leapt at it, and I’m now here to tell you that if you love movies with equal parts murder, LGBTQ+ romance, and some wild plot twists, you will have a great time with this one. I don’t know if this movie is for everyone, but I had fun. This one hits theaters on March 8 in select theaters before expanding on March 15.
