Jennifer Lawrence discussed the isolating experience of postpartum depression while promoting the film 'Die, My Love', where she plays a mother confronting psychosis. Set in a remote Montana home, Lawrence's character, Grace, endures extreme anxiety and isolation while caring for her newborn. She reflects on how her own experiences of motherhood influenced her portrayal. Co-star Robert Pattinson shared his own challenges of navigating mental health issues within partnerships, emphasizing the difficulty of understanding roles during postpartum. Both actors advocate for recognizing the complexities of motherhood beyond traditional portrayals.
As a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do.
The truth is extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.
Especially in postpartum, trying to deal with her isolation and trying to figure out your heart and your role in the relationship, it's incredibly difficult.
Contrary to the swirling horror of early motherhood portrayed in the film, Lawrence insisted that there are moments of joy amid the challenges.
