Love Lies Bleeding15

Directed by Rose Glass | USA | 2024 | 1h 44m | Starring Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, Ed Harris, Anna Baryshnikov, Dave Franco

Reclusive gym manager Lou (Kristen Stewart) falls for Jackie (Katy O’Brian), an ambitious young woman on her way to Las Vegas to pursue her dream of becoming a professional bodybuilder. As their relationship heats up, they quickly become entangled in a web of crime and violence, revealing Lou’s troubled past. British director Rose Glass follows up her debut Saint Maud with this steamy 1980s-set thriller drenched with body oil, sweat, and blood.

Reviews

‘Frenetic and obsessive, this is still a love story amid the gore and slick of body oil – a heart-pounding, iron-pumping descent into the heady heart of obsession and desire.’
★★★★★
Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

‘British film-maker Rose Glass lets rip with some pure roid-rage cinema in this uproarious, horribly violent and lethally smart noir thriller sited in the Venn diagram overlap between bodybuilding, murder and sex.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
