How To Watch Love Lies Bleeding At Home
Big news for the "They don't make 'em like they used to" crowd: They just did and, as those who were paying attention know, it's been playing in theaters nationwide for weeks now. "Love Lies Bleeding" lies at the crossroads between a throwback '80s noir and a queer romance that's unabashedly of its time, with both aspects coming together to create an intoxicating mix that's mighty difficult to resist. Starring Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brian as a pair of star-crossed lovers who wind up right in the crosshairs of a local crime lord (who also happens to be the estranged father of Stewart's character, in case things weren't already messy enough), director Rose Glass' iron-pumping, steroid-injecting, and thoroughly sweat-dripping thriller is one of those movies that practically leaps off the screen and swallows audiences up in the grime and muck of its world. (For more on that, be sure to read /Film's review by Bill Bria here.)
After indie-supporting studio A24 gave the film a wide release in early March, everyone who missed the boat the first time around — or fans who just can't get enough of a brilliantly-told story about buff women doing their thing — now have a chance to see what they've been missing. Today, even as it continues to play in scattered theaters, "Love Lies Bleeding" has been made available to rent or purchase digitally on PVOD platforms such as Apple, Amazon, and Google Play. Prospective viewers can expect the usual prices: $19.99 in order to rent the feature, and $24.99 to buy.
For everyone looking out for an eventual release on physical media and streaming, we have the details on that, too. Check it out below!
Love Lies Bleeding comes to Blu-ray this summer
Pinch yourselves, folks. As much as it might feel miraculous that a movie as idiosyncratic, complex, and inclusive as "Love Lies Bleeding" actually exists and received a wide release, rest assured: It's real, and it's spectacular. And there's even more good news, too. While the film continues to play in theaters and has now been made available to rent or purchase digitally, A24 is already gearing up for its home media release. According to the studio, fans will be able to relive all the blood-soaked, musclebound messiness on DVD and Blu-ray starting on June 4, 2024. But wait, there's more!
As an A24 release, a joint agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery (as /Film previously covered here) means that viewers will be able to stream "Love Lies Bleeding" at no extra cost ... presuming they're subscribed to Max, of course. No official streaming date has been announced just yet, but the movie starring Kristen Stewart, Katy O'Brian, Jena Malone, Anna Baryshnikov, Dave Franco, and Ed Harris will eventually join other recent A24 titles currently streaming on Max, such as "The Zone of Interest," "Dream Scenario," "Priscilla," and more. For now, fans can hit the gym in anticipation of catching the highs and lows of "Love Lies Bleeding" all over again from the comforts of home.
From Director Rose Glass comes an electric new love story; reclusive gym manager Lou falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou's criminal family.
