Richard Brody reviews Rose Glass’s second feature, “Love Lies Bleeding,” a neo-noir set in nineteen-eighties New Mexico starring Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, and Ed Harris.
The focus of “Love Lies Bleeding” is a young woman, Lou , who’s stuck in her New Mexico home town. She’s a gym manager with little to manage but much grunt work to do; the film’s first sequence finds her unclogging a toilet with a gloved hand. Lou can’t take her eyes off a new arrival at the gym, a well-muscled woman named Jackie , who works at a gun range. Jackie is a drifter who has hitchhiked to town en route to Las Vegas, where she plans to take part in a bodybuilding competition.
“Love Lies Bleeding” is a period piece, set in 1989, an era evoked from the start by an odd collection of vintage cars, including Lou’s two-tone pickup. People make calls on landlines and pay phones, and a news broadcast reports East Germans facing no opposition as they jubilantly cross over to the West. Yet Lou and Jackie have nothing to say about the events of their time and show little interest in the wider world.
