Love Lies Bleeding review: The best grubby, bloody lesbian thriller of the season

The best grubby, bloody, vaguely sub-Coen period lesbian thriller of the season turns out to the be the one with no actual Coen involvement. Whereas Ethan Coen’sgot exhaustingly caught up in its own cutesy-pie snark, Love Lies Bleeding is an altogether more robust specimen. The film will take you around the back of the shack and give you a few sharp kicks to the head.

It is the sort of grim environ that Jim Thompson enjoyed exploiting in his literary pulp: cheap booze, hurried sex and improvised corruption. You can always do with Ed Harris in such situations, and, as Lou, Louise’s kingpin father, he does a good job of not being outacted by the maddest hair in recent cinema.
