Jennifer Lawrence shared her heartfelt experience portraying Grace, a mother facing psychosis due to postpartum depression, during a press conference for "Die, My Love" at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Relating the role to her own struggles with motherhood after recently giving birth to her second child, Lawrence described the isolating nature of postpartum depression and how her experiences shaped her performance. She expressed the profound impact motherhood has had on her life and craft, stating that having children has increased her emotional depth as an actress.
As a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do. And it was just heartbreaking.
Having children changes everything. It changes your whole life. It’s brutal and incredible.
Extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating, no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.
They've taught me... I didn't know that I could feel so much and my job has a lot to do with emotion.
