Kristen Stewart in a mullet. Ed Harris in, um, whatever you want to call this. The Saint Maud writer-director Rose Glass's new film isn't all about the actors' wonky haircuts, yet it does offer an audaciously shaggy vision of '80s Americana.
Set in a seedy New Mexico town in 1989, the movie follows the courtship of the gym manager Lou (played by Stewart) and Jackie (Katy O'Brian), a bodybuilder. Their relationship leads to a gruesome crime that makes them the targets of Lou's bloodthirsty father, Lou Sr. (Harris), and what happens next is propulsive, twisty, and deliriously sexy: Bullets fly. Muscles pop. Bodies get dumped in the back of pickup trucks.
