Jennifer Lawrence Says She Didn’t Need an Intimacy Coordinator With Robert Pattinson on Die My Love

The Lynne Ramsay drama opens Nov. 7 via MUBI after festival praise for Jennifer Lawrence.

Overview

  • On the Las Culturistas podcast, Lawrence said she felt “really safe” with Pattinson and therefore did not rely on an intimacy coordinator for sex scenes.
  • Entertainment Weekly previously reported an intimacy coordinator was engaged on set, though the actors said they were comfortable without much guidance.
  • Lawrence said she filmed nude while pregnant with her second child and declined digital retouching, emphasizing artistic freedom over appearance concerns.
  • Directed and co-written by Lynne Ramsay from Ariana Harwicz’s novel with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch, the film was shot on 35mm and employs improvisation and bold musical choices.
  • Critics have widely praised Lawrence’s performance even as views differ on the film’s narrative cohesion, and the movie opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 7 through MUBI.
