Overview
- Lawrence made the remarks during a Vulture post-screening Q&A tied to the film’s Nov. 7 U.S. theatrical release from Mubi.
- She said some male directors feel a need to constantly assert control, calling the behavior “annoying” and associating the “auteur” label with being controlling and neurotic.
- Lawrence praised Ramsay for extensive world-building through music, conversations, and atmosphere before quietly stepping back on set.
- Ramsay described giving actors freedom and sometimes letting takes run long to capture unexpected, “magical” moments.
- Citing past work with Debra Granik, Jodie Foster, Susanne Bier, and Lila Neugebauer, Lawrence framed her view as a pattern; Die My Love adapts Ariana Harwicz’s novel and co-stars Robert Pattinson, LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek.
