USA 2024, Feature film, 104 min, FSK 16
Director: Rose Glass
starring: Kristen Stewart, Katy O'Brian, Jenna Malone, Anna Baryshnikov, Dave Franco
Language: OmU (English with German subtitles)
On her way to Las Vegas, bodybuilder Jackie meets Lou, a withdrawn gym manager in a New Mexico town. There is an immediate attraction between the two and they feel drawn to each other, and not just physically. But their relationship provokes bloody violence. The two become deeply entangled in the machinations of Lou's criminal family, in which her father dominates everyone as an arms dealer.
Sex, blood and scenes of violence shine in this film in bright neon colors and 80s aesthetics. Kristen Stewart is currently in a phase of her career in which she wanted to make "the gayest thing you have ever seen". Whether she succeeded or not is for everyone to decide. What is certain is that against the chemistry between the leading actresses Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brian, "even the strongest anabolic steroids seem almost harmless." (kino-zeit)
