"When Lynne Ramsay's "Die My Love" debuted at Cannes last May, critics raved about Jennifer Lawrence's performance as Grace, a young mother slowly descending into the madness of postpartum depression. Lawrence could be back in the Best Actress Oscar race for the first time since "Joy" in 2016, after winning for "Silver Linings Playbook" in 2013, and nominations for her breakout film "Winter's Bone" (2011) and "American Hustle" (2014). What a run!"
"All along, Lawrence mixed studio business (the "X-Men" and "Hunger Games" franchises, "Red Sparrow," "No Hard Feelings") with indie pleasures like "Causeway" and "The Beaver." Martin Scorsese, who admired Lawrence's unhinged performance in Darren Aronofsky's "Mother!," has been trying to find the right project for her. He discovered the 2012 novel " Die My Love " by Ariana Harwicz, and told Lawrence she should tackle this role."
"Lawrence's production company Excellent Cadaver developed the script with Ramsay, who cast Robert Pattinson. Established by the "Twilight" franchise, he ricocheted from Christopher Nolan projects ("Tenet" and "The Odyssey") and DC franchise "The Batman," which starts filming "Part Two" in April, to indies like the Safdies' "Good Time" and Robert Eggers' "The Lighthouse." In "Die My Love," he plays Grace's partner, Jackson, who is clueless about how to help his partner cope."
Die My Love premiered at Cannes, with critics praising Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of Grace, a mother descending into postpartum depression. The role could return Lawrence to Best Actress Oscar contention after previous win and nominations. Lawrence balanced mainstream franchises and indie films throughout her career. Martin Scorsese recommended the 2012 novel Die My Love by Ariana Harwicz and encouraged Lawrence to take the role. Lawrence's production company Excellent Cadaver developed the script with director Lynne Ramsay, who cast Robert Pattinson as Jackson. Pattinson's career spans franchises and acclaimed indies. The actors participated in a Zoom interview in New York the day of the premiere.
