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.
Critics Reviews:
- “Passionate and provocative, this is the type of film that gets under your skin. Beneath the violence and revenge, it’s a queer love story that’s hopelessly and breathlessly romantic.” – Louisa Moore (Screen Zealots)
- “If the ensuing carnage feels mostly rote, Glass does manage to conjure a climactic image that brings together the film's ideas about excess and power, gender and fantasy…” – Beatrice Loayza (The Nation)
- “There is an incredible amount of craft on display here. The energy that Rose Glass injects into this gritty noir makes for an exhilarating story that occasionally tries to do too much.” – Austin Burke (Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation)
- “A heady mix of A History of Violence, Drive, Killer Joe and Thelma and Louise, this sometimes lurid, occasionally surreal 1989-set “romantic-thriller” at times borders on sensory overload.” – James Croot (Stuff.co.nz)
