From her breakthrough role in Winter’s Bone to her Oscar-winning work in Silver Linings Playbook and her harried turn in mother!, Jennifer Lawrence has married glamorous charm and beauty with rough-around-the-edges toughness and explosive volatility, and she once again demonstrates that intense combination of magnetism and madness in Die My Love.
An adaptation of Argentine author Ariana Harwicz’s 2012 novel of the same name, Scottish auteur Lynn Ramsay’s film is a psychological head-trip powered by its riveting lead as a wife and mother coming apart at the seams due to postpartum depression and, also, her primal and destructive impulses. With an uninhibited fieriness that’s rooted in profound need and longing, Lawrence—opposite a beleaguered Robert Pattinson—delivers one the finest performances of her career, energizing the writer/director’s portrait of feminine rage, sorrow, and mania.
