- Synopsis:
From renowned filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, 'Die, My Love' is a visceral and uncompromising portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness. Anchored by a ferocious, tour de force performance from Jennifer Lawrence, and co-starring Robert Pattinson. The film follows Grace (Lawrence) and her partner Jackson (Pattinson), who have recently moved into an old house deep in the country. With ambitions to write The Great American Novel, Grace settles into her new environment, and the couple welcome a baby soon after. However, with Jackson frequently - and suspiciously - absent, and the pressures of domestic life starting to weigh on her, Grace begins to unravel, leaving a path of destruction in her wake. Based on Ariana Harwicz’s celebrated novel and co-starring Sissy Spacek, LaKeith Stanfield and Nick Nolte, Ramsay marks her eagerly-awaited return with this fearless new cinematic vision that charts the complexity of love and how it can change and transform over time. - Actors:

Breakdown in Big Sky Country - Die, My Love review by griggs
I came out of Die, My Love feeling wrung out and weirdly wired, like I’d just watched someone’s nervous system projected on to a screen. Ramsay takes Ariana Harwicz’s novel and sticks Grace in a remote Montana house with a baby, a bad family history and a brain quietly turning against her. It’s about bipolar spirals, postnatal dread and that horrible feeling that the real horror film is happening inside your own head. You’re not allowed a safe distance; you’re in the panic with her.
Jennifer Lawrence is astonishing. “Brave” usually gets wheeled out when someone takes their clothes off; she does that, but the real bravery is how far she lets Grace look needy, horny, petty, cruel and utterly lost. The dark comedy is brutal: car-park rows, car-sex ultimatums, boozy small talk that curdles into catastrophe. Robert Pattinson makes Jackson both exasperating and oddly sympathetic, and Sissy Spacek drifts in from next door as the ghost of total caregiver burnout. You can feel the mother! rawness and some of Kevin’s parental dread fused into one person.
Lynne Ramsay is, frankly, a national treasure and this is her working at full, feral strength. She directs like she’s got both hands round your throat: muscular sound design, saturated colour, music slams that feel like anxiety attacks. A fantasy lover on a motorbike and a few hallucination threads are a bit undercooked, and there’s at least one meltdown too many, but I’ll still take something this fierce and sensually alive over a dozen tasteful, well-behaved breakdown dramas.
