Kristen Stewart’s portrayal of Lou is particularly disgusting. Her performance lacks depth and nuance, resulting in a character that feels flat and disengaging. Stewart's attempt to convey a complex mixture of vulnerability and strength falls short, coming off as monotonous and uninspired.
The film’s direction by Rose Glass is erratic, with a narrative that meanders aimlessly and fails to capitalize on its noir inspirations. Instead of delivering a cohesive story, "Love Lies Bleeding" is riddled with bizarre, surreal moments that detract from the overall experience, leaving the audience confused rather than intrigued
Overall, despite the intriguing premise, Love Lies Bleeding" is bogged down by poor execution and lackluster performances, particularly from Stewart, who seems out of her depth in this role
