Jennifer Lawrence Headlines Dark Psychological Drama ‘Die My Love’ – A Bold New Vision from Lynne Ramsay

A Literary Masterpiece Comes to Life

The highly anticipated film ‘Die My Love,’ directed by Lynne Ramsay and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, tells the story of a mother struggling with her sanity in a remote rural setting. This dark drama exploring themes of love, lust, motherhood, and madness also features an impressive supporting cast including Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte, and LaKeith Stanfield.

From Page to Screen

The film tackles the sensitive subject of postpartum depression, a condition that remains misunderstood and under-treated. Based on Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel, the adaptation offers a hyperbolic exploration of the challenges women face during early motherhood.

Lawrence, at 34, delivers what may be a career-best performance, while Pattinson takes a step back to allow his co-star to shine in a role that becomes ‘perversely romantic’ as the story unfolds.

Critical Reception and Artistic Vision

Director Lynne Ramsay, known for her uncompromising approach to filmmaking, maintains her reputation for creating challenging psychological dramas that refuse to offer easy answers or comfort to viewers. The film has been described as ‘mesmerizing’ and presents a ‘brutal but beautiful story of a married woman’s mental disintegration as post-natal depression consumes and obliterates her’.

Release and Expectations

The film is scheduled for release on November 7, 2025. Notably, celebrated cinematographer Seamus McGarvey confirmed in July 2024 that the project would be shot on 35mm film, suggesting a commitment to visual authenticity that matches the raw emotional power of its source material.
