I enjoyed Love Lies Bleeding but not as much as I expected to if I'm being honest. It's clearly a movie with ideas and takes some big swings but I don't think they all connected. The last third or so really brought things down for me.
I do think one of the strengths of the film is the cast though. Right down to Jena Malone and Dave Franco.
I'm not sure I'd label it an erotic thriller though. But maybe it's reputation of that is more an inditement of the sexlessness of most cinema these days.
All that being said I think Rose Glass is one of the move interesting filmmakers out there. Between this and St. Maud she's definitely a director I'm following now.
