Lynne Ramsay’s ‘Die My Love’ is an intense, feral film – visceral, unsettling, and deeply internal. It stars Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a woman in her thirties whose life begins to unravel after giving birth. Her marriage to Jackson, played by Robert Pattinson, is at first passionate and physical, but post-pregnancy her desires and emotions spiral into something wild, uncontrollable, and frightening – both for her and for him.

The film is shot in a 4:3 aspect ratio, giving it a boxed-in, claustrophobic feel that mirrors Grace’s mental state. There’s no straightforward plot – instead, Ramsay takes us inside Grace’s fractured perception. Time shifts, scenes feel dreamlike, and we’re never sure what’s real and what’s imagined.

We see flashbacks to her wedding night, when even then she’s restless, seducing a hotel clerk moments after saying her vows. Later, she suspects her husband of an affair – or perhaps only imagines it – while she herself becomes haunted by a mysterious biker who appears first in her dreams and then, chillingly, in real life.

This isn’t a film that tries to diagnose or explain postpartum depression. It’s raw, experiential cinema – a fever dream that has to be felt rather than understood. Ramsay immerses us completely in Grace’s disordered mind, where guilt, lust, and confusion blur together until identity itself dissolves.

There are echoes here of ‘Bugonia’, especially in the film’s devastating final moments, and also of Ramsay’s earlier work like ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’ – stories about the violence that can live inside domestic spaces.

Sissy Spacek appears as Grace’s mother-in-law – a haunting presence herself, grieving her husband and sleeping with a gun at her side, recalling her own iconic role in ‘Carrie’, another portrait of female transformation and terror.

‘Die My Love’ is relentless and hypnotic. It’s not easy to watch, but that’s the point. Ramsay doesn’t give us neat resolutions – instead, she traps us inside a mind in freefall, where reality collapses and the soul burns bright and dangerous.
