A hit at this year’s Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals, Glass’s follow-up to the acclaimed Saint Maud finds Kristen Stewart playing a reclusive gym manager, Lou, who falls hard for Jackie (Katy M. O’Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family. Also starring Ed Harris, Jena Malone, and Dave Franco, Glass’s 80’s-set neon-soaked neo-noir comes to Bainbridge for one night only. Rated R.

“Love Lies Bleeding is a blood-soaked throwback to ‘80s erotic thrillers and action cinema but also Glass’ deconstruction of cinematic hypermasculinity through a female lens.” – USA Today

“An air of doom presides over the film, which often resembles a Greek tragedy punctuated by moments of surreal deus ex machina and darkly comic relief.” – The Stranger

“There are movies that grab you by the throat. There are movies that punch you in the gut. Love Lies Bleeding is both, and I friggin’ love it.” – Mashable
