Die My Love (2025)

Jennifer Lawrence is thrillingly raw as a young mother unravelling in the sticks in director Lynne Ramsay’s darkly funny, dizzying fever-dream.

When Martin Scorsese read Ariana Harwicz’s surreal, non-linear novel, he declared Jennifer Lawrence the only actor who could do justice to the role. She persuaded Ramsay, ‘the only director that I know that makes poetry’, to adapt the turbulent tale, transposed from rural France to Montana.

Grace (Lawrence) and Jackson (Robert Pattinson) are a couple of kooks relocating to an isolated fixer-upper to pursue their creative dreams, with their new baby’s doting grandmother (Sissy Spacek) on hand to babysit. They prowl through the long grass, hot with desire. Seamus McGarvey’s hallucinatory cinematography heightens the tension, turning their ramshackle retreat into a claustrophobic cage as Jackson’s long-distance driving job leaves Grace frustrated in every sense, and her kookiness seesaws into psychosis.
