Die My Love’ Opens Friday as Reviews Praise Lawrence and Split on the Film

Reviews highlight Lawrence’s performance over a divided reaction to the film.

Overview

  • Jennifer Lawrence stars in Lynne Ramsay’s adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s novel, opening in theaters Nov. 7 via MUBI.
  • Critics widely commend Lawrence’s committed turn and Ramsay’s sensory craft, though several reviews question the narrative’s accessibility and cohesion.
  • Lawrence said on the Las Culturistas podcast that she did not use or recall using an intimacy coordinator for sex scenes with Robert Pattinson and that she felt safe working with him.
  • Publicity has noted that Lawrence filmed parts of the movie while pregnant and appears nude, while Ramsay rejects framing the story solely as postpartum illness.
  • The film was shot on 35mm in a portrait ratio, features Ramsay’s own musical contributions including a Joy Division cover, and co-stars Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and LaKeith Stanfield after Martin Scorsese steered the project to Lawrence.
