Love Lies Bleeding
Love Lies Bleeding is a neon-soaked, adrenaline-fueled thriller that dives headfirst into passion, crime, and obsession. When reclusive gym manager Lou (Kristen Stewart) falls hard for fierce, up-and-coming bodybuilder Jackie (Katy O’Brian), their love sparks something explosive. But as they get tangled in the dark underbelly of Lou’s crime-ridden family, desire turns dangerous, and survival becomes the ultimate competition. Directed by Rose Glass, this bloody, sweat-drenched love story is brutal, funny, and intoxicating.
Recently expanded neighbourhood brewery, Bird House, will be serving a range of beers, wine and cocktails for your delectation.
FREE MAKES IT INCLUSIVE, DONATIONS MAKE IT HAPPEN
