Kristen Stewart plays a gym manager who falls in love with a female bodybuilder in this self-described lesbian neo-noir crime thriller (not unlike Bound). I dug this one, though I can't really nail down the reason why. Maybe it's the recreation of that gritty 1980s bodybuilding era. I like that the women are real antiheroes, straight up shooting steroids and taking names. Even though they don't earn our sympathies, we support them because they're going up against the evil tyranny. There's a lot of wild shit going on, but it has a certain magical realism attached to it that makes it feel memorable to me, logic be damned.
