Review: Jennifer Lawrence Gives Her All in the Wild, Brutal ‘Die My Love’ but Ends Up Unfulfilled
This turbulent film by indie director Lynne Ramsay stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson as struggling new parents engulfed in conflict and destruction. The opening scene sets a chilling tone for this postpartum nightmare.
A Haunting Beginning
The first shot of “Die My Love” feels like the perfect horror movie opener. The camera silently explores a secluded ranch house kitchen, eerie and still, while Grace and Jackson (Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson) linger on the porch of their recently inherited home. Their hesitation to enter hints at impending danger.
Setting and Characters
- Jackson explains, “It’s not New York but it’s ours,” referring to the rural house left to him by an uncle who died violently upstairs—a fact Grace oddly finds amusing.
- Jackson’s parents, Pam and Harry (Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte), live nearby.
- Neither Grace nor Jackson reveals much about their past urban lives, but Jackson longs to play drums, and Grace once claimed to be a writer.
- Their dreams appear stalled—blocked by money, lost ambition, or lack of talent.
Domestic Descent
They move in, have a baby, and soon spiral into domestic chaos, their relationship deteriorating through fights and emotional turmoil.
“It’s not New York but it’s ours.” — Jackson
Author's summary: Jennifer Lawrence delivers a raw, intense performance in Lynne Ramsay’s unsettling film about new parenthood's harsh realities, though the story leaves much unresolved.
