Kristen Stewart has rejected the normative Love scenes that predominate in cinema after presenting Love Lies Bleeding, alongside actress Katy O'Brian, with whom she has a relationship in the film.
Love in Hollywood has often been treated with a certain distance from the viewer, avoiding being very graphic, at least in large productions, which seek to reach a larger audience by receiving ratings for all ages.

One of the biggest defenders of scenes being more realistic is Kristen Stewart who, with her latest film, promises to bring us some of the hottest moments of the season. And the thing is, the film by Rose Glass, also starring Katy O'Brian, seems to be one of the most talked about in the coming months.
Love Lies Bleeding was presented at the last Berlinale and has now done so at Sundance, attracting all kinds of comments that highlight its daring and extravagance when it comes to telling the story of two young people - a gym manager and a bodybuilder - who meet. They fall in love in the middle of a chase at the hands of a psychopath Ed Harris and whose shocking trailer you can see in the video above.

"Really nailing down the details by talking about the physical experience is better than just seeing the scene, how they talk to each other, how they share space, not having to cut the scene into so many takes... It's been a beautiful experience," she said.
For her part, O'Brian commented on her excitement at being able to do "something real." "The biggest thing was I just wanted to make sure Kristen was comfortable," she added.
In fact, the atmosphere on the production sets has improved so much when filming these scenes that it is common to find statements like those made by Kate Winslet about Love in The Regime, her latest series, for which they had to be fired. apart from the team.
