Film of the Day: "Die My Love" — Jennifer Lawrence's Best Role in Recent Years

Contents:
No lullabies here. In Lynn Ramsay's film "Die My Love" (2025, 18+), based on the novel of the same name by Ariana Harwicz, motherhood isn't tender poetry—it's an inner storm. What do you do when having a child doesn't bring you closer to happiness, but leads you to the abyss?

What the Film Is About

A young couple — Grace ( ) and Jackson (Robert Pattinson) — moves into an inherited house in the Montana mountains. Their plans are naively dreamy: she's writing a novel, he's pursuing music.

Instead of creative inspiration, they have a baby. Instead of comfort — anxious isolation. Instead of personal growth — a terrifying descent. For Grace, motherhood becomes not a reward, but a catalyst for deep psychosis.

Viewing Experience

This isn't a movie for a casual night in. "Die My Love" is painfully honest, boldly nonlinear, and at times almost hallucinatory.

Lawrence in this role is frighteningly real. I can confidently say this is one of her best performances in recent years.

Pattinson is more subdued. His character is just a regular guy. And these kinds of roles are pure gold for Robert.

What Critics and Audiences Are Saying

On IMDb — 6.4, on Metacritic — 75, on Rotten Tomatoes — 78%. The numbers aren't sky-high, but the reviews are filled with respect.

Film critic Tim Robey from the Daily Telegraph wrote in his review: "Nobody does rage like Jennifer Lawrence. Her role in 'Die My Love' is an insane showcase: she prowls like a wild animal and claws at walls."

If you're ready for a movie that makes you want to step outside and just breathe in silence afterward — "Die My Love" is worth your attention. Not for everyone. But for those who aren't afraid to look into someone else's pain — and see something of themselves in it.
