Love Lies Bleeding: how to watch, awards, reviews, cast, plot and everything we know about the Kristen Stewart movie
New Kristen Stewart movie is a Sundance Film Festival pick in 2024.
Kristen Stewart has fans who love her for her time in the Twilight franchise, for her critically acclaimed performances in indie movies like Spencer or both. Her latest movie, Love Lies Bleeding, falls into more of the indie sector, though it could have widespread appeal, especially with the backing of A24.
Love Lies Bleeding is one of A24's new 2024 movies, which also includes Civil War, Problemista, Tuesday and Sing Sing, among others.
Here is everything that you need to know about Love Lies Bleeding, including when it is first being shown, who's in it and what the critics are saying about it.

Kristen Stewart has top billing in Love Lies Bleeding, though she is not alone as the rest of the cast features the likes of Jena Malone, Dave Franco and Ed Harris, as well as Katy O'Brian and Anna Baryshnikov.
Stewart is still probably best known for playing Bella Swan in the Twilight movies, but she is also an Oscar-nominated actress for her role in Spencer and has received acclaim for turns in Still Alice, Clouds of Sils Maria and more. Her most recent movie was the David Cronenberg movie Crimes of the Future.
Katy O'Brian, meanwhile, gets second billing behind Stewart in A24's materials. O'Brian broke out on TV most notably with roles in Z Nation and Black Lightning, but has more recently been seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Mandalorian. This is just one of her big 2024 new movies, as she is also set to star in Twisters.
