From the mind of Rose Glass (writer/director of 2020 standout Saint Maud) comes the “gnarly masterpiece” Love Lies Bleeding. It stars Kristen Stewart, newcomer Katy O’Brian, Ed Harris, Jena Malone, Anna Baryshnikov, and Dave Franco sporting mullets, perms, and all things inherently ’80s. A twisted romance that is “as harrowing as it is tender” and “as horny as it is horrifying,” as Mashable film editor Kristy Puchko put it, Love Lies Bleeding has earned a top spot on our list of the best films of 2024. And now it’s officially available to stream at home.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Love Lies Bleeding.
What is Love Lies Bleeding about?
Set in New Mexico in the ’80s, Love Lies Bleeding follows the kismet relationship between loner gym manager Lou (Kristen Stewart) and amateur bodybuilder Jackie (Katy O’Brian), who is headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream: dominating a bodybuilding competition. What follows is a lethally loyal love that ignites violence and pulls them deep into the dangerous web of Lou’s criminal family.
“There are movies that grab you by the throat. There are movies that punch you in the gut. Love Lies Bleeding is both, and I fucking love it,” Mashable’s Kristy Puchko writes in her review.
Take a sneak peek at the trailer:
Is Love Lies Bleeding worth watching?
After Challengers, we’ve named Love Lies Bleeding the best movie of 2024 (so far) — and other critics largely agree. On Rotten Tomatoes, the Rose Glass-directed movie has earned a “certified fresh” 94 percent critic rating and 82 percent audience rating. It wasn’t exactly a box office hit or anything, pulling in just $12.5 million total worldwide, but it was also a limited release. Plus, box office numbers aren’t always reliable.
As Mashable’s film editor put it, “Love Lies Bleeding is a gnarly masterpiece, and you’re gonna want to see it on a big screen with the best sound system possible.”

Is Love Lies Bleeding streaming?
Love Lies Bleeding officially hit streaming on July 19, about four months after it made its theatrical debut. Max is the streaming home of new A24 theatrical releases, so the Kristen Stewart film joins other recent flicks like The Iron Claw and Problemista on the service. Max subscriptions start at $9.99 per month, but there are some ways you can save some money on your plan. Check out the deals below.
Best Max streaming deals
Best Max streaming deal for most people: Save 16% on Max with ads annual subscription
If you don’t mind ads, a Max monthly subscription will cost you $9.99 per month. You can easily sign up for a single month and watch Love Lies Bleeding as many times as you want, then cancel before you’re charged for another month. However, if you’re in it for the long haul, you can save some money by signing up for an annual plan instead. It costs $99.99 per year, which breaks down to just $8.33 per month instead. That’s 16% cheaper than paying monthly, but you’ll have to pay it in full upfront.
Best Max deal with no ads: Save 16% on a Max Ad-Free annual subscription
For an ad-free viewing experience, you have two options: Max Ad-Free and Max Ultimate Ad-Free. The basic Max Ad-Free plan costs $16.99 per month, while Max Ultimate goes for $20.99 per month. If you choose to pay upfront for the year, however, it’ll cost you just $169.99 per year (about $14.17 per month) or $209.99 per year (about $17.50 per month) instead. That’s a total savings of 16% on either plan.
Note: Both tiers offer an ad-free viewing experience, but the Ultimate tier steps things up with 4K Ultra HD video quality and Dolby Atmos immersive audio.
