Mark Kermode reviews Love Lies Bleeding - Kermode and Mayo's Take

#MarkKermode #SimonMayo #FilmReviews

Gym manager Lou falls for Jackie, a bodybuilder who is passing through town en route to a competition in Las Vegas.

Fantastic neo-noir: "Bound" on steroids, literally. Lynch-like dreamscapes, and a fantastic score from Clint Mansell.
Glass frames everything beautifully.( Sorry, couldnt resist)

[arnemyggen]

People who say the ending ruined it didn’t pay attention during the film. It goes in that direction very early on and on more occasions

[MichaelBarenberg]

I saw this about a month ago (in Canada). I didn't love it, exactly, although it was extremely well filmed and acted. But it did make me think, a lot, in the days after I saw it, and I absolutely consider it a film worth seeing.

[missthea]

This film is like a cross betwen Bound and Thelma and Louise. Loved it!

[oliverbeard]

Saw this today. There was something gritty about the whole story which made me think of older Tarrantino and Oliver Stone movies. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

"Psychedelic expressionism", sounds like Mark has coined a new genre 😂 admittedly, I've not seen this yet, but was keen to see what Rose Glass did next, so will be booking tickets asap!

Dave Franco is definitely getting the roles now that his brother would have got before being cancelled

[kellybrincks]

Saw this in the theater. I really dug it. I understand the why the ending is decisive

[AllInTheGame]

Before Kaitlyn Dever got cast, Katy O'Brian is who I remember a lot of ppl online wanted to play the character of Abby in S2 of The Last of Us.

[Regenmacher]

I just saw the trailer for this in the cinema today. Can't wait for this to come out over here. I've been waiting for months to be able to see this now.

Best film I’ve seen all year. Can’t imagine I’ll see anything better anytime soon.

[raymondnewton]

Sounds good. Reminds me of "confession of a trick baby".

[norman]

If im not sure about seeing a movie, Mark's take on a movie makes my mind up.

[krissykins]

Loved this. Can’t wait to see what’s next from Glass.

[Trailerparkwarlock]

This is my favorite film of the lat year at least. I loved it from start to finish

[JayB]

the sound track compliments the film perfectly

[deveshsood]

Saw this at Flare and absolutely loved it.

[iainfuller]

Ooh, Power in the Darkness is one of my all time favourite albums.

[brajeshsingh]

I agree here. Ed Harris had the scariest hairstyle I have seen in some time.

I just watched it as it was on my radar from the second I heard about it (and that it was from 'Saint Maud' director, Rose Glass). Everything Mark said I concur with. I do like a Southern-fried potboiler crime drama and throw in some steamy scenes with some real chemistry between the leads, what's not to like/love? 👌
