Critics Herald Jennifer Lawrence’s “Mesmerizing” Performance In Cannes Drama ‘Die My Love’: “Expect Her To Show Up On That Oscar Stage Again”


What Are The Critics Saying About Jennifer Lawrence & Robert Pattinson Cannes Drama 'Die, My Love'?

The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw gave the film four stars of our five, noting: “Lawrence excels as a woman whose bipolar disorder is exacerbated by husband Robert Pattinson’s infidelity, with super-strength direction from Lynne Ramsay.” The BBC wrote: “ Die, My Love is a surreal, intense and sometimes darkly hilarious exploration of postpartum depression – although it does seem for a time as thought it’s going to be a lot more besides.Jennifer Lawrence is better than ever as Grace…The film has its share of incidents, but it’s essentially a mood piece – one long nervous breakdown – rather than a drama with a plot.” Known for her Cannes-debuting drama Ratcatcher, as well as films like We Need to Talk About Kevin and Morvern Callar, Ramsay’s last movie You Were Never Really Here, the thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix, won her the Cannes Best Screenplay award in 2017.
