A remote, dilapidated house somewhere in the heart of America is to become their new home: Grace (Jennifer Lawrence) and Jackson (Robert Pattinson) are free-spirited, free-thinking artists—she writes, he makes music—who want to escape the big city and its temptations. Civilization seems very far away, but Jackson's aging mother Pam (Sissy Spacek) lives not too far away.

At first, their self-imposed solitude seems more than stimulating for the couple; alcohol flows freely, sex is wild, and soon a child is born. And that's when the problems begin, slowly but surely. Grace becomes increasingly irritated, less and less willing to conform to society's prescribed role of the caring mother, while Jackson is away more and more often for work (but also for affairs), and the loneliness weighs even more heavily on Grace.

In Die My Love, acclaimed filmmaker Lynne Ramsay paints a relentless and uncompromising portrait of a woman consumed by love and madness. Jennifer Lawrence shines alongside Robert Pattinson with a furious performance.

Adapted from Ariana Harwicz's acclaimed novel and featuring Sissy Spacek, LaKeith Stanfield, and Nick Nolte in supporting roles, this fearless film about the complexity of love and its transformations over time marks Ramsay's eagerly awaited comeback.

At its core, this story is about the complexity of love and the forms it can take over time. I wanted to make the film grounded, human, spontaneous, and humorous in places. My aim was to capture unassuming moments that nevertheless carry deep meaning. This film is for anyone who has ever been in a relationship—because vulnerability holds both pain and beauty. - Lynne Ramsay

Ramsay allows her film to get more surreal, allowing us to question what’s even actually happening, disorienting us as much as she does our protagonist. It makes for an unforgettable cinematic experience, a full-throated rejection of the simplistic manner in which we sometimes talk about complex mental and relationship issues. It’s a killer. - RogerEbert.com
