Love Lies Bleeding

Lou manages a gym in a nowhere town in 1989. Jackie is passing through on the way to a bodybuilding show in Las Vegas. Glass shoots the romance as if the muscles and the guns belonged to the same dream. Kristen Stewart plays Lou as someone who already knows what her father is. Katy O’Brian plays Jackie as someone who will get larger than the plan. The A24 trailer is the gym and the desert. The film does not stay realistic once the bodies do.
