Overview
- Mubi released the Lynne Ramsay–directed adaptation in theaters on November 7, 2025 following its festival run.
- Critics praise Jennifer Lawrence’s feral, physically committed performance as a new mother whose reality frays after childbirth.
- Ramsay and cinematographer Seamus McGarvey employ non-linear structure, jagged edits, and sensory overload to blur memory, fantasy, and the present.
- The story, adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s 2012 novella, co-stars Robert Pattinson and Sissy Spacek in a rural setting that heightens isolation.
- Coverage notes an audacious formal design, including recurring musical motifs, while some reviewers flag the ambiguous finale as divisive.
