Die My Love’ Opens to Critical Praise and Weak Early Audience Scores

Lynne Ramsay’s Cannes entry starring Jennifer Lawrence arrives via MUBI with acclaim for its daring style.

Overview

  • The film opened in theaters on November 7 with MUBI distributing after a reported $24 million rights deal.
  • Opening‑night polling registered a D+ CinemaScore and early Rotten Tomatoes audience scores were low, even as critics lauded Lawrence’s performance.
  • Adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s novel, the story tracks a new mother’s severe psychological unraveling without a clinical diagnosis, using a tight 1.33 frame, jagged edits and disorienting sound to blur reality.
  • Martin Scorsese championed the project to Jennifer Lawrence’s company and serves as an executive producer on the film.
  • Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and LaKeith Stanfield co‑star, and multiple outlets note Lawrence shot portions of the film while pregnant.
