British director Rose Glass understands what makes for a compelling psychological thriller. She debuted her first feature film, “Saint Maud,” in 2019 at the Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews, and now her sophomore effort, “Love Lies Bleeding,” is a fantastic companion piece that is sure to turn heads. Glass introduced her newest movie to a roaring crowd at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, leaving a trail of blood, sweat and even some cheers.
“Love Lies Bleeding” stars Kristen Stewart, fresh from a separate run at Sundance with the bold science-fiction romance, “Love Me.” In Glass’s 1980s-set epic, Stewart embodies ever-frantic gym manager Lou, a forever desert dweller longing for more in her life than simply cleaning toilets and helping the muscular men in the gym achieve their full potential.
