Love Lies Bleeding

Didn't know a lot about this film before checking it out. Saw the cast, trailer and its a thriller, you can count me in.

Overall found this film to be super enjoyable, stylish, bold, shocking and totally unsettling in parts. Basically everything you could ask for from a modern day thriller. Loved the central dynamic/relationship between the two leads. Felt incredibly natural and down to earth. Exactly why the more bonkers stuff works because the basics have been done so so well. Kristen Stewart and Katy M O'Brian are both stellar throughout. Also have to shoutout Ed Harris, with of the most ridiculously amazing looks one of his characters has ever had. Incredibly powerful, and unnerving. Again I believe only Harris could do this role.

Directing, cinematography and sound are incredible! Absorbs you into the world seamlessly. Absolute feast for the eyes and ears all the way through. The colour palette is off the charts with this film, extremely vibrant and fitting for the craziness of the story.

75% out of 100. Great chemistry with central characters and backstories you believe. Performances are great. Story has all sort of surprises, which will keep you guessing. This is a great modern day thriller that is easily accessible and a joy to watch. Don't sleep on this film!
