▸ Filming & Locations

Filming was initially set for 2023 before being postponed due to the Hollywood strikes. Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey reunited with Ramsay after We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011). He shot the film on 35mm and in 1.33:1 Academy ratio, inspired by Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965) and Rosemary's Baby (1968).

Pattinson related an anecdote about being extremely nervous for a dance sequence and being unable to convince Ramsay and Lawrence to cut or choreograph the scene. He took dancing classes for the role. He later spoke further about the environment on set, specifically dialogue changes: "It is just quite an unusual environment… Some of the stuff we're doing… there's one scene where there were three or four pages of dialogue, and we turn up and Lynne says, 'I think I'm just going to do it with no dialogue.' It's kind of scary, but it's very, very exciting. It makes you feel very alive."

On the experience of dealing with the darker material while being four-and-a-half months pregnant at the beginning of filming, Lawrence said that what her character "[goes] through is the hormonal imbalance that comes from postpartum. [...] I had great hormones! I was feeling great, which is the only way I would be able to dip into this emotion." However, while reading the book, Lawrence spoke of it being hard to separate what she would do differently from Grace, the character, and called it "heartbreaking".

Cinematographer McGarvey employed unconventional techniques during production, including burning lenses and singeing the camera gate to create what Lawrence described as a distinctive "inky look".

CRITICAL RECEPTION

Die My Love received generally positive reviews from critics following its premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, with particular acclaim for Jennifer Lawrence's intense portrayal of postpartum psychosis and Lynne Ramsay's stylistic direction, albeit audience responses were more polarized. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "D+" on its A+ to F scale.

Many critics singled out Lawrence's performance, which Deadline Hollywood described as deserving of an Academy Award, and Ramsay's direction for praise. Tim Grierson of Screen International declared Lawrence "the match that lights Lynne Ramsay's gripping, slow-burn fifth feature", highlighting its layered examination of mental health and volatile relationships. Nicholas Barber of the BBC wrote that Lawrence "is better than ever".

Rafa Sales Ross of The Playlist called Lawrence the "undeniable propulsive force" of the film, noting her "rare ability to swing from effortless charm... straight into the dark abyss." Stephanie Zacharek of Time raved that it's "the kind of performance you go to the movies for, one that connects so sympathetically with... human suffering that it scares you a little."

Dave Calhoun of Time Out labeled it a "deeply raw and honest film" with a "musical, black-comic, big-hearted spirit that pulls you through the despair." However, Owen Gleiberman of Variety viewed it as "reckless on the surface but overdetermined", critiquing its thesis-like approach to motherhood's burdens. In a review for The Washington Post, Sonia Rao awarded the film 2.5 stars, praising Lawrence as "brilliant" but faulting the lack of postpartum exploration as "baffling at best and exploitative at worst".

Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com awarded the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, comparing Lawrence's performance to Catherine Deneuve in Repulsion and calling the film "a wild and worthwhile ride".
