Kristen Stewart<\/strong><\/a> got great reviews for her latest movie, Love Lies Bleeding<\/em>, but it wasn\u2019t anything near the success she wanted it to be at the box office and she\u2019s bitterly disappointed as a result.<\/p>\n \u201cKristen is flummoxed by what happened with Love Lies Bleeding<\/em> for a very simple reason. She doesn\u2019t know how to make a better movie than that,\u201d a longtime pal of the Charlie\u2019s Angel<\/em>s star<\/a> exclusively reveals to Life & Style<\/em>. \u201cShe thought this was an all-timer. She gave it everything, the critics got fully on-board, and yet it seems like almost nobody bought tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n The source adds, \u201cThe math doesn\u2019t add up and the movie has performed well below expectations. It\u2019s shaken her. It all cuts a bit deeper with this one because Kristen was putting her full sexuality on display<\/a> and telling a queer story without apologies while boosting a major new filmmaker in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n Kristen, 34, famously dated her Twilight<\/em> costar Robert Pattinson<\/strong><\/a> off and on from 2009 to 2013, but since then, the American Ultra<\/em> star came out as gay during an episode of Saturday Night Live<\/em> in 2017. She\u2019s now engaged to Dylan Meyer<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Love Lies Bleeding<\/em> is described as a \u201cneo-noir romance thriller\u201d and stars Kristen, along with Katy O\u2019Brien<\/strong>, Jena Malone<\/strong>, Anna Baryshnikov<\/strong>, Dave Franco<\/strong> and Ed Harris<\/strong>. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and released in theaters in March. The film follows the story of a gym manager who falls in love with a body builder as she passes through town. While the movie received positive reviews, it didn\u2019t achieve the level of success Kristen expected.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s tried this formula in the past and it worked a lot better back then,\u201d the insider continues. \u201cClearly the rules are changing. I see Kristen in a weird spot right now. She gets respect all over the world for her unconventional taste and instincts as an actor. But in the decade since she exited the Twilight<\/em> franchise, she hasn\u2019t had a single explosive hit that made hundreds of millions in profit.\u201d<\/p>\n Adding salt to the wound is the fact that some of Kristen\u2019s costars from the Twilight<\/em> series have gone on to land roles in blockbusters, like Anna Kendrick<\/strong>, who played Beca Mitchell in the Pitch Perfect<\/em> series.<\/p>\n \u201cThat hurts when you\u2019ve got Rob Pattinson out there playing Batman or working with the director of Parasite<\/em>. She needs a hit. She thought this was it. Boy, was she wrong,\u201d the source concludes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
