StarringKristen StewartandKaty O’Brian, the gritty love story puts a fun twist on the queer movies we’ve been used to over the last few decades. Pulling out all the stops for this one-of-a-kind release to add to your collection, both the 4K and Blu-ray copies will come with commentary from Glass and co-writer,Weronika Tofilkska, two never-before-seen featurettes, and six postcards depicting the main characters in their glory.

Set in a rural town in the middle of Texas,Love Lies Bleedingtells the love story between out-of-towner Jackie and townie Lou. Training for her next big competition, Jackie blows into the tiny town like a tumbleweed, looking for a job, when she crosses paths with Lou, who works as the manager at the local gym. Fast and furious, the pair’s romantic spark is undeniable, but when Jackie finds work with Lou’s volatile father, Lou Sr. (Ed Harris) at a gun range, things get out of hand quickly. There areplenty of toxic family dynamics at playin Glass’ sophomore feature, which blends an off-the-rails love story with a crime thriller andgives us one of the most wild and talked-about endings of the year.The film also features the talents ofJena Malone(The Hunger Gamesfranchise) andAnna Baryshnikov(Dickinson).
What Other Movies Has Rose Glass Directed?
Love Lies Bleedingserved as Glass’ second feature-length film following 2019’s trippy horror flick,Saint Maud. While the two titles are different in storyline,there are plenty of similarities in the way that Glass visually designed the productions. Blending the surreal and fantastical with tense situations and some truly “WTF” moments, the filmmaker left her stamp on cinema and now has a calling card for what we can expect from future projects.
