The IndependentClarisse LoughreyNov 6, 2025
Die My Love captures most meaningfully the feeling of spiralling mental distress as like a dam that’s about to burst with no river to carry its water. Read full review

TimeStephanie ZacharekMay 21, 2025
What Lawrence does in Die, My Love is so delicately textured, even within its bold expressiveness, and its fiery anger, that it leaves you scrambling for adjectives. It’s the kind of performance you go to the movies for, one that connects so sympathetically with the bare idea of human suffering that it scares you a little. Read full review

The A.V. ClubTomris LafflyMay 19, 2025
Ramsay lets her film, and her characters, exhale just a little. But there is a lot of earned wisdom and lived-in pain in that exhale, and in the entirety of Ramsay’s masterwork. Read full review

Time OutDave CalhounMay 18, 2025
It’s a deeply raw and honest film. It’s bleak, but it also has a musical, black-comic, big-hearted spirit that pulls you through the despair. Read full review

The PlaylistRafaela Sales RossMay 20, 2025
Lawrence is the undeniable propulsive force of “Die, My Love,” a performer whose rare ability to swing from the effortless charm of the classic movie star straight into the dark abyss that houses the odd and the grotesque lends itself perfectly to a role as tangled as Grace. Read full review

The New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonNov 6, 2025
Submerged in Grace’s overheated, claustrophobic, tedious, maddening reality, we are drowning, just like her. It is full-body immersion cinema. Read full review

Little White LiesHannah StrongNov 5, 2025
Ramsay articulates the inarticulate, here through her saturated blues, yellows, browns and greens, the colours of grief and sickness and rot…but also new life, summer skies, and hope. Read full review

RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyNov 7, 2025
None of this is easy, and not much of it is fun. But “Die My Love” is a wild and worthwhile ride. Read full review

Slant MagazineMarshall ShafferOct 20, 2025
To dismantle the mythologies of maternity, Lynne Ramsay's tool of choice is the sledgehammer rather than the scalpel. Read full review

The Daily BeastNick SchagerNov 4, 2025
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. Read full review

The AtlanticShirley LiNov 14, 2025
Lawrence is superb at exemplifying Grace’s confusion. Read full review

The Daily BeastEsther ZuckermanMay 19, 2025
Whenever it feels like the plot is verging into territory we’ve seen before, you can just train your attention back onto Lawrence and be completely mesmerized. Read full review

iFrancesca SteeleNov 12, 2025
Die My Love is simply too odd to appeal to everyone – but anyone familiar with the despair induced by listening on repeat to “I like to eat apples and bananas”, while wondering where their life, identity and bodily autonomy have gone, will find truth, if not solace, in its singularity.

SlashfilmChris EvangelistaNov 7, 2025
The film lives and dies with Lawrence, who's fearless performance here reminds us why she became so acclaimed to begin with. Let's hope we start seeing more of her again now that she's back. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearNov 6, 2025
Even those who think Die My Love courts indulgence and incoherence to its own detriment — there are times when the movie itself threatens to fall apart and blow up the devices projecting it as collateral damage — will gape in awe at how Lawrence makes them feel this person coming apart at the seams. This mother makes what the star did in the equally provocative Mother seem like child’s play. She’s completely unhinged and loving it. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzNov 6, 2025
Lawrence takes up that challenge and then some, with a performance that could have been rendered in broad strokes, and sometimes is, but also relies on small moments, a look in her eyes, a quick movement, to draw us in and keep us there. Read full review

EmpireIana MurrayNov 6, 2025
Lynne Ramsay’s raw and animalistic character study proves to be the perfect vehicle for Jennifer Lawrence. She’s never been better as a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyMay 21, 2025
Ramsay’s main tour de force is with the Andrew-Wyeth-esque weirdness of the countryside: counting the insects buzzing on the soundtrack could make the viewer go insane. We’d be right there alongside Grace, whose rebellious freak-outs should be alienating – she hates the world – and yet thanks to Lawrence feel majestically raw from beginning to end. Read full review

NMELou ThomasMay 21, 2025
Lynne Ramsay directs the hell out of this intense, twisting story. Read full review

Screen RantGraeme GuttmannMay 18, 2025
Visceral, bruising, and darkly humorous, Die, My Love hits like a sledgehammer thanks to Lawrence and director Lynne Ramsay's uncompromisingly grim vision of domestic life. Read full review
80
Vanity FairRichard LawsonMay 18, 2025
Ramsay’s jumble of pictures and sound is bound together by Lawrence’s confident, fearless gravity. It’s quite something to behold: a comedic performance that manages convincing notes of devastation, or a dramatic turn that is also screamingly funny. What a thrill to see Lawrence expanding her artistry like this, a movie star reclaiming the talent that her celebrity once nearly obscured. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonMay 18, 2025
The Oscar-winning actress gives a volcanic performance that is nonetheless very controlled, avoiding melodramatic theatrics. Pattinson plays off his costar superbly, giving us an inattentive husband who comes to realise how little he understands about his wife. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawMay 17, 2025
It hardly needs to be said that subtlety is not really among this film’s attributes - but it is fierce, angry, engaged, and intensely, sensually alert to every detail of its own pleasure and pain. Read full review

ColliderEmma KielyMay 17, 2025
Die, My Love is further proof that no one is doing it like Lynne Ramsay, whose technique and style continue to evolve, as she draws out a career-best performance from Jennifer Lawrence in a must-see thriller spectacle that turns a single woman’s experience into a brutally honest psychological epic. Read full review

The Travers TakePeter TraversNov 7, 2025
Jennifer Lawrence gives a performance to die for in a devastating tragicomedy about postpartum depression that drives away her husband (Robert Pattinson). Scottish hellcat director Lynne Ramsey doesn’t know from comfort zones and she may push you too far, but don’t discourage Lawrence. Risk becomes her. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliNov 6, 2025
The film lingers, not because it’s enjoyable, but because it refuses to let go. It’s the sort of movie you admire for its daring and endurance but would never want to watch a second time. Read full review

Chicago TribuneKatie WalshNov 6, 2025
This film is not an easy watch, provoking anxiety, discomfort and even judgment about parenting and motherhood. Her love for her son is never in question, but Grace is a wild animal, and it is at times terrifying to be asked to dive into the cracked psyche of a brilliant but troubled mind with such immediacy and presence. Read full review

Original-CinLiz BraunNov 3, 2025
Die My Love has gorgeous cinematography, delicious nudity, way-cool music and Robert Pattinson, but the irresistible urge to check one’s watch kicked in early — at the one-hour mark. That’s not a good sign. Read full review

IndieWireRyan LattanzioMay 18, 2025
What Lawrence achieves here is extremely impressive, a marquee movie star throwing herself with abandon into a filmmaker’s warped and demandingly miserable vision. Read full review

The RevealScott TobiasNov 24, 2025
Die My Love is ultimately a more insightful film about motherhood than marriage, but the sheer force of Ramsay and Lawrence’s collaboration turn Grace into an essential woman under the influence. Read full review

IONCINEMA.comNicholas BellNov 6, 2025
Lawrence is exceptional, and as committedly bleak as the film is, her empathetic portrayal allows this to feel less like miserabilism and more like an honest depiction of a woman who feels indefinitely trapped. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreJun 4, 2025
It’s not a film that fully works, but it’s a performance that’s monumental — and very grown up. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyMay 18, 2025
Ramsay’s film is hard to love, but that beautiful visual casts such an intense glow it pulls the whole unwieldy thing together. Read full review

TheWrapChase HutchinsonMay 18, 2025
Even as it’s not Ramsay’s best film, even a minor work from the filmmaker is still better than just about any other director. There remains a haunting power that she’s able to wield over her audience. Read full review

Paste MagazineJesse HassengerNov 5, 2025
Die My Love is a powerful primal scream, only undercut by the question of whether it’s in love with the sound it’s making. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesNov 6, 2025
At just under two hours, Die My Love is a lot of movie with not a lot of story. Good thing, then, that it centers Lawrence in very nearly every frame. Read full review

The Film StageRory O'ConnorMay 19, 2025
I would say it’s this director’s weakest film, but when you’ve never made a bad one that probably doesn’t say a lot. Whatever the case, Die My Love remains worthwhile. Read full review

LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenNov 13, 2025
Even though she’s playing a woman who is suffering, Lawrence brings a playfulness to the screen that leavens the depths of misery in which Ramsay’s movies tend to wallow. Read full review

Washington PostSonia RaoNov 7, 2025
An astonishing lead performance by Jennifer Lawrence keeps Lynne Ramsay’s “Die My Love” from falling apart — which is ironic, given that the new film depicts her ripping at the seams. Read full review
63
The Associated PressJake CoyleNov 6, 2025
As unkempt and overwrought as “Die, My Love” is, it’s not a movie that’s timidly weighing in on parenting and gender roles. There’s plenty to admire in Ramsay’s uncompromising and delirious portrait of marital hell, particularly in the bracingly raw performance of Lawrence. Read full review

ObserverSiddhant AdlakhaMay 27, 2025
Although it eventually loses staying power, Lynne Ramsay’s ferocious relationship drama Die, My Love quickly seeps beneath your skin, practically holding you hostage in its initial half. Read full review
60
The TimesTom ShoneNov 24, 2025
Returning to the screen after a long absence, Lawrence manages such profound levels of eye-rolling pissed-offness that it’s difficult not to take it as a sign of the actress pushing back on the suffocating levels of adoration she has been subjected to. Read full review

IGNMatt DonatoNov 24, 2025
The film’s themes may be fundamental in their commentaries on parental gender disparity or qualities about motherhood so many refuse to publicly acknowledge, but they still land like a haymaker. You’ve gotta hand it to Ramsay; she’s a fearless visionary when rocking on all cylinders—which, frustratingly, Die My Love only dishes out in smaller servings. Read full review
60
The Irish TimesTara BradyNov 5, 2025
Die My Love is uncompromising, hypnotic, brave and often indelible looking, even when the theatricality and fractured structure erode any emotional weight. The result is an impressively punishing, intermittently brilliant bad trip that may be the worst date movie ever made. Read full review

The IndependentSophie Monks KaufmanMay 17, 2025
There is simply no one for Lawrence to bounce off and no structure against which to craft an emotional trajectory. She is dancing on her own. Read full review

BBCNicholas BarberMay 17, 2025
Ramsay's film-making flair lights up scene after scene, but as the narrative fragments, and reality and fantasy blur, you're left with the urge to read the novel to find out what's actually happening. The film may have communicated its heroine's boredom and bewilderment a little too effectively. Read full review
50
Movie NationRoger MooreNov 7, 2025
There’s no getting around the disquiet Ramsay goes for and achieves with this nightmarish primer on postpartum depression at its most extreme. But at some point, the shocks numb you in ways the tedium of the myopic, intimate story hasn’t. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesAmy NicholsonNov 6, 2025
Hurling herself into every scene, Lawrence puts her full faith in Ramsay. It’s not a trust fall so much as a trust cannonball. As good and committed as Lawrence is, there were times I wanted to rescue her from her own movie, to protect her from the fate of Faye Dunaway when “Mommie Dearest” turned another blond Oscar winner into a joke.

LooperReuben BaronNov 5, 2025
Maybe there's something I'm not getting here, but as far as I'm concerned, Die My Love comes alive in individual scenes yet feels stultifying as a whole. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMichael OrdoñaNov 3, 2025
Die My Love is not plot-driven, with events that don’t necessarily follow one another in cause and effect. Rather, it’s a slow-burn psychological drama populated by imperfect people struggling with painful realities. Instead of a dramatic arc, it’s a dramatic decline. Read full review

The New YorkerRichard BrodyNov 4, 2025
The emptiness of “Die My Love” isn’t a failure of adaptation but of observation; what’s missing isn’t a sense of drama but a sense of life. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanMay 18, 2025
By the time Die My Love reaches its voluptuously incendiary yet somehow rather rote ending, you may wish you were watching a different movie. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzNov 4, 2025
In a more controlled and less punishing film, Lawrence’s deeply committed performance would be the discussion of the year. Yet she has tossed herself to the wolves here, the star provided no care or cover by her director. What is the point in going so raw, so feral, if the result is so scattered, so interminable, so irredeemably silly? Read full review
20
The TimesKevin MaherMay 18, 2025
Nothing has dramatic impact. Nobody seems to believe anything they’re doing. Lawrence and Pattinson, two innately charismatic performers, are strangely self-conscious, and so many of their scenes seem like experimental improv or half-cooked rehearsals. Read full review
