The movie Love Lies Bleeding, directed by Rose Glass, has left audiences buzzing with its wild and divisive ending sequence. The climax of the film features a showdown between Lou (Kristen Stewart) and her father, Lou Sr. (Ed Harris), where bodybuilder Jackie (Katy M. O'Brian) experiences steroid-induced side effects, growing to giant size and inadvertently killing Lou's father. As Lou and Jackie make their escape, a shocking revelation unfolds as Daisy (Anna Baryshnikov), previously thought dead, is found alive in the trunk and meets a tragic fate at Lou's hands.
In an interview with IndieWire, Glass delves into the multiple layers of Love Lies Bleeding's ending, defending the controversial decision to end the film in such a manner. She explains that the culmination of the story through Lou's actions and the surreal cloud-running scene was essential to staying true to the film's narrative.
