Film Review: Die My Love (Lynne Ramsay, 2025)

Lynne Ramsay's fifth feature, and her first in 8 years tells a harrowing tale of postpartum drepression to the nth degree. But let's face it, Ramsay does a great job with her latest film (and possibly her best or at least right up there with Ratcatcher) but this film is all Jennifer Lawrence all day long.

Critics have said Jennifer Lawrence is a tour de force in this movie, and even though i find that term to be highly clichèd, i cannot argue with it's use here. Ms. Lawrence gives the most visceral performance of her career - and that's saying a lot if you've ever seen Mother!.

With teeth sharpened and wildcat persona ratcheted up to eleven, J-Law plays a new mother, in the nowhere lands of rural Montana, the childhood home of her boyfriend, (played by Robert Pattinson, who is also great in a rather thankless role tho), who slowly descends into the gaping maw of madness.

Playing the very personification of womanhood & motherhood, much like she did in the aforementioned Mother!, Ms. Lawrence is a growling, biting, scratching, screaming, throw yourself through a pane glass window force of batshitcrazy nature.

I have yet to see all the films of 2025 so far, but i can say with enthusiastic authority that i would be hardpressed to find another performance this uear with the ferocity of Jennifer Lawrence in Die My Love!
