Is Die My Love Worth Watching? Reviews of Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson's Film
Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson star in Die My Love, a film described as "fierce, angry, and engaged." After its Cannes debut earlier this year, director Lynne Ramsay’s much-anticipated adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s 2012 novel finally releases this week.
Plot and Themes
The story follows Grace, played by Oscar-winning Jennifer Lawrence, and her husband Jackson, portrayed by Robert Pattinson. It centers on Grace's experience with bipolar disorder while exploring infidelity, parenthood, and postnatal depression. The film offers a raw and passionate account over two intense hours.
Director’s Insight
"I related to her writer's block, to her sex life going totally to pot and other universal struggles," Lynne Ramsay said. "But I didn't approach the project thinking Grace only has postnatal depression. It has to be more layered than that."
Story Overview
At the start, Grace and Jackson’s relationship thrives as they move into a new house in Montana: they blast music, dance freely, and are intimate frequently. But after Grace gives birth, things shift. Jackson’s job demands take him away from home, despite him keeping a box of condoms in the glovebox, leaving Grace alone in their fixer-upper.
Summary
Die My Love offers a layered and emotionally charged portrayal of a troubled marriage and mental health struggles, led by powerful performances from its two leads.
