Critics are likely going to shit all over it, but I doubt it was ever aiming to win awards. I'll just be seeing it for "reasons."
It's actually getting some nice reviews, IGN gave an 8 and I've seen other sites having similar opinions
The reviews I’ve read are generally positive, but there’s some things in it that apparently got too whacky for some critics. I remember one review mentioned that the end of the movie crosses into fantasy territory and compared it to “Attack of the 50ft Woman”, so I’m assuming they’re talking about the moment in the trailer when she explodes with huge muscles.
would be curious who the other women are they sourced for the stage stuff. love that classic look
I gonna see in the theater here, in Brazil. And I'm really excited with the trailers.
Is anyone else shocked that a movie like this is being released?
A critically acclaimed movie centered around a female bodybuilder?
I honestly struggle to imagine something like this could come out even a decade ago because while "strong female protagonist" has been a common trope of action cinema at least as far back as movies like "Aliens" and "Terminator 2," we almost never see female protagonists with enough muscle mass to rival male action characters. "Wonder Women," "Atomic Blonde," "Charlie's Angels," etc. — all of these chicks were twigs with few exceptions!
It honestly shocks me how much muscular women have been normalized in only the past few years—like since 2019 or so.

Not only Katy is one of the protags, but this is a movie with muscle growth scenes and, according to some reviews, actually into muscle fetish, it's quite crazy to see this happening yeah
"""Strong""" women in movies (when it comes to physicals, mind you) have always been just them with some definition and some abs, that's "strong" for Hollywood, I'm really glad Katy is way beyond that

Yes, it's great.
I like bodybuilding and I loved watching movies with Schwarzenegger, Ferrigno, etc... but we never got to see the same with women, they always picked skinny (like, really) women to portray "strong female characters", which doesn't make sense imho.
More and more women (especially younger ones) are getting into lifting, and it's not just muscular women being normalized, people are slowly starting to accept they actually look good and that lots of straight men (or lesbians) find them attractive.
Liking strong women was basically taboo up until a few years ago, let alone dating them, nowadays we are way more open about it and most younger people don't care or approve it.
More and more people want to see actresses like Katy o Brian, characters like Luisa in Encanto, etc...
The cultural shift towards less gender roles in movies is amazing.

I agree, like she hulk should have been super muscular!
I think many bait tubers would prefer something like this: original, non franchise, non derivative. Possible character development and cohesion.
I expected certain youtubers that I watch to start a hate campaign against this movie. but seems like they ignore this movie and keep focusing on shitty Disney remakes. but let's not talk about them anymore on this site
I dunno YouTube movie reviewers have been shifting to A24 and other lower budget movies bc blockbuster quality has been so lackluster recently lol. Check out "A24's Most Cucked Movie - Past Lives (2023)" hahaha
Gotta wonder what the media blitz for this is like.
A number of my friends know that I’m into buff girls and Altho this actress has appeared in things we mutually watch they haven’t joked about it. This is a little different though since it’s the focus of the film rather than a character happening to be in it. Despite being in advertising I don’t watch a lot of ads so I wonder what their exposure is
That said I will not watch it with them lol
Have you guys seen IGN's review of the movie ?
"Sex in cinema returns with a snatch and jerk in Love Lies Bleeding, a pulpy crime thriller that’s also the horniest ode to big, muscular women this side of actual fetish content."
"The first time Jackie and Lou sleep together, the veins in Jackie’s arm bulge and her bicep muscles ripple, the first hints of a supernatural element that manifests in truly surprising fashion later on."
This movie is going to be an experience for anyone attracted to some fetish stuff. Many other reviews also talk about numerous other growth scenes and steroids usage
