In need of creative inspiration, a professionally stagnant and hard-partying Los Angeles artist named Dezzy Donahue recklessly indulges in a series of drug binges. As the narcotics fly out of control, so does her newfound and inexplicable, yet unquenchable, craving for blood. As someone who has never been able to control her vices in the first place, Dezzy is violently consumed by this bloodlust.

Critics Consensus

Bliss may be too narratively and visually intense for less adventurous viewers, but should trigger the titular state in those with a taste for hard-hitting horror.

2.5/4

Madison is a force of terrifying nature, her fracturing psyche a cornucopia of manic delirium that's as fascinating as it is discombobulating.

It's 80 tedious minutes of shouting, swearing, nudity and gore, cut together with the deftness of a chainsaw.

1.5/4

There's a relentless shrillness at work here that makes the movie more grating than exciting.

3/5

Wilson is amiably befuddled, and even if Bliss doesn't wholly deliver, its sheer creative energy is, in itself, invigorating.

There is nothing here that seems to surprise or challenge - unless it is to test its audience's patience.
