I went into Love Lies Bleeding expecting to watch just another thriller, maybe with a dash of feminism and lgbtq rights, for taste. What was my surprise when I discovered a real movie.
Love Lies Bleeding is one of those movies that catches you from the beginning and never lets you go. Is the filmmaking style a bit excessive? Yes. Sometimes almost inelegant? Yes. It uses a few too many tricks a little too frequently. But the result remains captivating, diving into the world of female body builders while mixing film genres and cinematographic styles, to create a unique film. One that, by the way, is genuinely feminist and lgbtq in an original and authentic way.
Kirsten Stewart is outstanding, confirming her as one of the greatest talents in Hollywood today.
