Die My Love

Die My Love is a 119‑minute American psychological drama that landed on the big screen in the fall of 2025, with a theatrical release in the United States on November 7, 2025. Directed by Lynne Ramsay and co‑written with playwright Enda Walsh and Alice Birch, the film is an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s 2012 novel Die, My Love. It follows a young couple, Grace (Jennifer Lawrence) and Jackson (Robert Pattinson), who leave the bustle of New York for a remote Montana house after Jackson inherits his uncle’s property. The move seems like a fresh start, but the isolation and the arrival of their baby quickly turn into a psychological spiral that tests their love, identity, and the fragile bond of motherhood.

The story is a tense, almost claustrophobic look at postpartum depression and psychosis, with Ramsay’s signature visual style—think 35 mm, 1.33:1 ratio, and a “inky” look that feels both cinematic and unsettling. The film also carries a dark‑comedy edge, a blend of thriller and slow‑burn drama that keeps the audience on its toes. Lawrence’s performance is the centerpiece: critics have called it one of her most vivid roles yet, with a raw intensity that earned her a Donostia Award and a Golden Globe nod. Her portrayal of Grace’s inner turmoil is both heartbreaking and compelling, and many reviewers say it’s the kind of performance you go to the movies for.

Critics have generally warmed to the film, with a 74 % approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a Metacritic score of 72 out of 100. The consensus notes that Ramsay’s direction is gripping, though some feel the film’s stylistic choices might keep them from fully connecting. Audience reactions have been more mixed—CinemaScore gave it a “D+,” and some viewers found the film too mannered or intense. That said, if you’re a fan of psychological thrillers, dark humor, or deep character studies, you’ll likely appreciate the film’s layered exploration of mental health and volatile relationships. Fans of Ramsay’s previous work (We Need to Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here) and of Lawrence’s powerful screen presence will probably find this one of her most daring performances.

On the flip side, if you prefer lighter, more straightforward storytelling or if the idea of a psychological descent into postpartum psychosis feels a bit too heavy, this film might not be your cup of tea. Its polarizing style and intense subject matter can be a lot to take in, especially for those who enjoy a more conventional narrative pace. Still, for anyone curious about the often‑ignored challenges of new motherhood and the psychological toll of isolation, Die My Love offers a bold, unflinching cinematic experience that’s worth watching—just be ready for a roller‑coaster of emotions and a film that doesn’t shy away from the darker corners of the human mind.
