Ever since Parker Posey was dubbed the queen of Sundance within the late ’90s, festival-watchers have been desirous to cross that title on annually to whichever actress proves most ubiquitous.

This 12 months, the tiara goes to Kristen Stewart, who I count on would put on it with Chanel and Converse. The 33-year-old actress stars in two of the fest’s most mentioned motion pictures: “Love Me,” a postapocalyptic story a few buoy that falls in love with a satellite tv for pc, and “Love Lies Bleeding,” an ultraviolent thriller that casts her as a health club worker engaged in a harmful affair with an bold bodybuilder (Katy O’Brian).

Aside from the truth that these two love tales characteristic Stewart in her go-for-broke, just-have-fun-with-it period, “Love Me” and “Love Lies Bleeding” couldn’t have much less in frequent, which makes them a delightfully whiplash-inducing demonstration of what Stewart is able to. Here are among the issues I’ve watched her do over the previous few days, whether or not onscreen or off:

• digressively describe “Love Me” at a post-premiere Q. and A. as “such a cool way into all of our stories. Like, it could be a relationship movie but also self-love, but not in the way that word … just make new words for that. When you’re like ‘no’ or you’re like, ‘hey, I identified a thing and I think I enjoy that,’ but then, like, seconds later it’s a different thing and you don’t have to feel bad about that or feel like, ‘Ooh, I didn’t know myself, maybe I’m different.’ Like, no. It’s like” — she snapped twice — “yeah. And now I’m, like, trying to be with a person? Yeah. It’s like this is the most honest relationship movie slash people movie.”
