When it came to actors revealing their tricks to playing the heavy-duty melodrama of a husband and wife on the edge, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson had nothing to hold back in their discussion of their portrayals in Die My Love.
Lynne Ramsay‘s film stars Lawrence as Grace, a young mother battling severe post-natal mental illness, which takes a toll on her marriage to Jackson (Robert Pattinson), leading to his infidelity. Increasing the melodrama is the fact that they’ve moved from the city to Middle of Nowhere, California.

“I’m not an actor who brings the work home,” the Oscar-winning actress said. “It’s part hormonal imbalance, but she’s also having an identity crisis — who am I as a mother, as a wife as a sexual person.
“She’s plagued with this feeling that she’s disappearing,” Lawrence added. “The only way for me to dip into some of this visceral emotion. Also in terms of my performance, I had Lynne Ramsay as my director!”
Lawrence exclaimed she want to work with Ramsay since 1999’s Ratcatcher.

“Having children changes your whole life — it’s brutal and incredible. Not only does it go into every decision of if I’m working, when I’m working and where I’m working. My job has a lot to do with emotion; they’ve opened up the world to me.”
For Pattinson, stepping into the heavy duty gravitas was a cinch given the fact that he was playing opposite Lawrence and under Ramsay’s guidance.
“I’m attracted to characters who are incredibly abrasive and quite obscure, but Jackson was a normal guy. When you’re dealing with a person going through post-partum or any kind of mental illness; you’re trying to deal with her isolation and trying to figure out what your role in the relationship is, and trying to hold on,” said the Mickey 17 and The Batman thespian.
“He’s not a mental health professional, he’s not looking at Tiktok reels about parenting. He’s hoping the relationship will go back to what it was in its purist form. He’s trying to understand why this happened,” he added.
Die My Love is one of the few titles in the Cannes lineup this year that’s up for sale.
