‘Love Lies Bleeding’ Review: The Gays Are Doing The Burying In Rose Glass’ Psychological Thriller – Sundance Film Festival

Was Sundance 2024 a bust? Maybe felt that way a little bit, right? Not that many shot-out-of-a-cannon highlights, not that many breakouts, seemingly a bit of a muted festival arguably. But if there was one film that had a lot of rocket fuel to it, it was arguably Rose Glass’ “Love Lies Bleeding,” a romantic crime thriller starring Kristen Stewart and newcomer Katy O’Brien, known for recent turns in “The Mandalorian” and “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania.” Glass is, of course, known for her breakthrough feature, the horror film, “Saint Maud,” which also landed its lead, Morfydd Clark, on the map.

Filmmaker Asmae El Moudir, making her feature directorial drama, starts her non-fiction film “The Mother Of All Lies” as a modest family chronicle—an elevated home video of sorts. It is soon clear, though, that she has much more on her mind because the actual subject of her inquiry is the collective amnesia around a seminal event that changed Morocco forever, the 1981 Casablanca bread riots.

Some movies are Irish. “Kneecap” is Ireland.

Love Island All Stars has only been back on our screens for a week or so, but already some watchers are complaining that it feels more like a series of Ex on the Beach than a group of lovestruck hopefuls keen on finding lasting romances. However, there is one addition to the villa that seems to be everyone's type on paper: Georgia Harrison's pyjamas.The 29 year old has been wearing a specific feathery pair around the house in the mornings, and ITV watchers have been keen to find out where they're from.The answer is Boohoo, but sadly the exact Premium Leopard Feather Pyjamas, £35 here, are currently out of stock - no big surprise there - so you'll have to wait for stock to replenish if you want her pair.

Heather Gay, is that you?! That’s the question many fans are asking since watching the 49-year-old reality star on Watch What Happens Live Tuesday night.

China began loosening its one-child policy in 2015 until finally, in 2021, it abolished all restrictions on the number of children a family could have. Young Chinese filmmakers are beginning to grapple with the fallout of those prior decades in new fiction films that demonstrate how the Chinese family unit has been irreversibly transformed.

Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes have shared their reflective new single ‘Self Love’ from their upcoming LP.The track is the third single from ‘Dark Rainbow’, the band’s fifth album which is set for release on January 26 via International Death Cult. It follows the previously released songs ‘Bramble‘ and ‘Man Of The Hour’.With lyrics “If I ever fall in love again, let me love myself / ‘Cause I cause pain in my heart like no one else / If I ever fall in love again, let me love myself / Before I give it all away to someone else,” the song describes someone attempting to forgive themselves ad let go of guilt and pain.Speaking about ‘Self Love’ in a press release, frontman Frank Carter said: “‘Self Love’ is a mantra to live by in honour of the relationship that truly matters, the relationship you have with yourself.

Bravo fans, 2024 didn’t begin until the bracing Jan. 2 season finale of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” which shocked us all into the new year, and made us remember we’re alive.

Alex Ritman The 20th edition of the Glasgow Film Festival has landed one of Sundance’s most talked-about films for its opening night. “Love Lies Bleeding,” Rose Glass‘ queer romantic noir starring Kristen Stewart that earned critical acclaim in Park City, is set to raise the curtain on the event with its U.K.

Jesse Moss’ chilling and engrossing documentary “War Game” begins ominously, moves with urgency, and never lets up. The film begins with two suspicious men surveilling the capitol building in Washington D.C.

bringing up “Twilight” now that Stewart has been an Oscar nominee, however we first learned in the vampire saga that the actress does infatuation very well. She effortlessly gives off an “I’d die without you” aura, and there is a tractor-beam power in her stares. Behind O’Brian’s wild eyes, meanwhile, is a person who could either kiss you or brutally stab you to death.

In 2019, Rose Glass announced herself to the world with the phenomenal Saint Maud. The film was an immersive character study of one lonely woman clinging to sanity in the wake of a personal trauma. Audiences loved Saint Maud with a common thread across all reviews being how hard it was to believe that it was only Glass’ feature debut. This year Glass returns with her second film, Love Lies Bleeding, which just debuted at Sundance. Whereas Saint Maud made a star out of lead Morfydd Clark, Love Lies Bleeding is set to do the same for Katy O’Brian.

Maya Jama tells us there’s not an easy way to her heart as she shimmers beneath the South African sunshine at the sumptuous Love Island villa, before adding coyly, “There shouldn’t be an easy way to anyone’s heart.” She’s the glamorous host of the nation’s favourite dating show, but Maya’s lessons in love have all been learned firsthand from her own roller-coaster love life.The TV presenter, 29, is once again wrapped up with her soulmate Stormzy, 30, four years after their romance first ended following rumours he’d cheated. Maya cut him out of her life but, in Love Island parlance, Stormzy didn’t stop grafting, writing songs about Maya and telling the world, “I want to marry her, I want to have her children.” For a while his declarations fell on deaf ears and in 2021, NBA player Ben Simmons proposed to Maya with a dazzling emerald-cut diamond ring worth £800,000.

The Berlin Film Festival on Monday unveiled the titles selected for its official competition and its sidebar Encounters competitive section.

At first glance, “Love Lies Bleeding” might look like another Americana-steeped tale of lovers on the run. But a look beyond its sleek hardbodies reveals that director Rose Glass has once again made a monster movie, albeit one of a different character than the spiritual possession in her scorching debut “Saint Maud.” Here, Glass finds a Gothic-tinged tale of passion and pride burning brightly amidst the embers of the eighties.

Jena Malone is opening up about Kristen Stewart.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic There was a time, in the ’90s, when indie film noir thought it was being hip by imitating the trappings of ’40s thrillers ­— the dark shadows, Venetian blinds and “slinky” femme fatales. But a true noir never really looks back; it’s always pushing forward, toward fresh new varieties of desire and dread. “Love Lies Bleeding” is like that.

Kristen Stewart falls for a bodybuilder in “Love Lies Bleeding,” an electric (and violent) romance thriller that premiered Saturday night at Sundance Film Festival. Rose Glass (“Saint Maud”) directed the movie, which co-stars Katy O’Brian, Ed Harris, Dave Franco, Jena Malone and Anna Baryshnikov. O’Brian is no stranger to the world of bodybuilding, having done competitions in the past, so she didn’t struggle with the physical aspect of playing Jackie.

Anyone who thought this year’s Sundance lineup was a bit ennui, didn’t see A24’s electric Love Lies Bleeding tonight at the Eccles Theatre in Park City, UT. The Rose Glass directed and co-written lesbian romance crime bender starring Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian, drew hoots and hollers and big cheers throughout in an ultraviolent, twisty and turny tale of familial revenge.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic On the most literal level, Sam and Andy Zuchero’s “Love Me” is about the relationship between a buoy adrift at sea and a satellite circling the earth. The eccentric rom-com takes place in a time after humans have gone extinct, when the surviving machines’ only references are a massive hard drive’s worth of data combed from search engines and social media sites.
