The highly-anticipated new film from Saint Maud director Rose Glass, Love Lies Bleeding is a romantic thriller starring Kristen Stewart (sporting a haircut reminiscent of her The Runaways performance as Joan Jett) and Katy O’Brian that’s being described as a “romance fuelled by ego, desire, and the American Dream.”

In Glass’ sophomore feature, Stewart’s character Lou embarks on a quest for revenge in the name of love. A reclusive gym manager, Lou, falls hard for Jackie (O’Brian, newly ripped), an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Las Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.

Starring alongside Stewart and O’Brian are Dave Franco, Ed Harris, Anna Baryshnikov, and Jena Malone. Glass directs from a script she go-wrote with Weronika Tofilska, with A24 producing alongside Film4.

Love Lies Bleeding will make its world premiere at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival, before releasing in cinemas on March 8th, 2024. It won’t be the only one of Stewart’s films premiering at Sundance 2024; she also stars opposite Steven Yeun in Love Me, a post-apocalyptic romance written and directed by Sam and Andy Zuchero which is being enigmatically described as “a love story between a satellite and a buoy.”
