Love, insanity, love, and extra insanity.
Jennifer Lawrence is right here with one of many boldest performances of the 12 months in “Die My Love,” directed by Lynne Ramsay. The Oscar-winning actress stars as Grace, a mom dwelling in Montana who begins to point out indicators of postpartum psychosis, her psychological misery unraveling her relationship with Jackson (Robert Pattinson). Written by Ramsay with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch, the 2025 Cannes Movie Pageant premiere lastly hits theaters November 7 courtesy of Mubi. Watch the trailer beneath.
LaKeith Stanfield co-stars within the movie as an alluring stranger who attracts Grace, whereas Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek play Pattinson’s mother and father. The official synopsis for the movie is barely extra hope-tinged than what you get from seeing the film, which resembles one thing between a darkish comedy and a psychological horror movie: “A hopeful younger and loving couple (Grace and Jackson) transfer from New York to an inherited home within the nation. Grace tries to search out her Id with a brand new child within the remoted setting. But as she begins to unravel, it’s not in weak point however creativeness, energy and a surprising untamed vivacity that she discovers herself anew.”
“Die My Love” has curiously not been on the fall festivals this season, coming into theatrical play and eventual Mubi streaming straight from Cannes as a substitute. There was chatter that recuts had been occurring post-Cannes, however the unchanged working time suggests these edits are imperceptible.
Extra on the movie from our overview: “‘Die My Love’ is a two-hour cinematic miasma of what it’s wish to be in postpartum melancholy hell and possessed by a sexual urge for food that would by no means probably be quenched by even somebody as scorching as Robert Pattinson. As such, will probably be a troublesome promote for even Lawrence’s most ardent followers. The story affords little to hook us onto apart from Grace’s fixed flailing by means of psychosis, visually realized by cinematographer Seamus McGarvey with the sensation of a nasty dream you get up from in a heated, unforgiving sweat. The environment of this fugue-state-turned-panic-attack of a movie is rarely not intoxicating. As Grace spins out in a hothouse countryside beset by ever-buzzing flies — inescapable swelter and tall grass abound — you’ll be able to all however really feel the ticks and Lyme illness consuming you.”
