Katy O’Brian’s ripped arms, Kristen Stewart’s mullet, and Dave Franco’s mustache star alongside Ed Harris’ wig in A24’s Love Lies Bleeding from writer/director Rose Glass (Saint Maud).
The film is described on IMDb as a “romance fueled by ego, desire, and the American Dream.” On Wikipedia, the premise is described as a film that “depicts the extreme qualities it takes to succeed in the competitive world of bodybuilding.” The trailer, on the other hand, makes it look like a crime thriller about a bodybuilder, her girlfriend, and the revenge they inflict upon the girlfriend’s gun-loving father.

Love Lies Bleeding will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival before it becomes available to the wider public.
