Jennifer Lawrence's new movie with Robert Pattinson, Die, My Love, has been revealed in three first-look images. Directed by Lynne Ramsay, who co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz, the upcoming film follows the psychological unraveling of a woman living in rural America who becomes overwhelmed by the demands of marriage and motherhood. The movie stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson in lead roles alongside LaKeith Stanfield, Oscar winner Sissy Spacek, and three-time Oscar nominee Nick Nolte.
Now, three first-look images from Die, My Love featuring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson have been revealed via The Film Stage. The first image shows a close-up of Lawrence's character drinking from a glass, followed by a second of her at a party with confetti falling around her. The third image shows Lawrence and Pattinson's characters, who are husband and wife, dancing in their farmhouse on the Montana countryside. Check out the images below:
What The Die, My Love Images Mean For The Movie
It's Got Two Powerhouse Leads
The first-look images from Die, My Love highlight its two powerhouse leads. Jennifer Lawrence, a four-time Oscar-nominated actress who won for Silver Linings Playbook, plays a new mother who develops postpartum depression and enters psychosis. Playing her husband is Robert Pattinson, who has recently redefined his career with strong performances in indie films from auteur directors, and Die, My Love should continue that trend. Absent from the first-look images is Oscar nominee LaKeith Stanfield, who plays the lover of Lawrence's character.
With a Lynne Ramsay movie, it can be difficult to pin down the genre. Die, My Love has been described as a thriller, though there are also clearly elements of romantic drama. Ramsay says the movie is "about mental health and the breakdown of a marriage," but has also suggested it's a black comedy, saying it's "really fucking funny. At least I think it’s funny… But I’m Glaswegian, so I’ve [got] a really black sense of humor." This blend of tones and perspectives promises a film that defies easy categorization.
Our Take On The Die, My Love Images
Lynne Ramsay Returns
Lynne Ramsay's movies – Ratcatcher, Morvern Callar, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and You Were Never Really Here – are marked by recurring themes of grief, guilt, death, and its aftermath. From its title alone, coupled with its intense and introspective themes and first-look images, Die, My Love appears to continue that trend for Ramsay. It helps that the first-look images feature two big stars, which should begin to build anticipation for their performances and, in turn, Die, My Love, the next work from the acclaimed Scottish filmmaker.
