Love Lies Bleeding: OTT Release Date, Cast and Review -

Love Lies Bleeding is a 2024 thriller and romantic Movie directed by Rose Glass. The film stars Kristen Stewart as Lou, a reclusive gym manager, and Katy O’Brian as Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder.

Plot

In 1989, gym manager Louise “Lou” Langston falls for Jaqueline “Jackie” Cleaver, a bodybuilder training at her gym. Unknown to Lou, Jackie recently landed a job at a shooting range owned by Lou’s estranged father, Lou Sr., after having sex with Lou’s brother-in-law, JJ, to secure the position. Jackie, a transient en route to a bodybuilding competition in Las Vegas, accepts Lou’s offer of steroids despite initial hesitation. Seeking stability, Jackie asks to stay at Lou’s apartment, and Lou agrees.

The pair dine with JJ and Lou’s sister, Beth, who remains unaware of JJ’s abusive behavior. When JJ turns abusive during dinner, Lou defends Beth and threatens JJ. In retaliation, JJ reveals his affair with Jackie, infuriating Lou. While driving home, Lou temporarily forces Jackie out of the car, expressing her desire for JJ’s death. However, Lou quickly allows Jackie back into the car when two FBI agents arrive. The following day, Lou visits Beth in the hospital after JJ’s attack. Lou Sr. arrives and promises to take care of Beth.

Emotionally unstable from steroid abuse, Jackie breaks into JJ’s home and violently kills him. A distressed Lou arrives at the crime scene, admitting she never truly wanted JJ dead. Together, they drive JJ’s body and car into a ravine, revealed to be the same location where Lou once assisted her father in disposing of his business rivals’ bodies. This act brings Lou face-to-face with her past, highlighting the complexities of love, family, and the consequences of violence.
