Another day, another impeccable movie star pairing. This time, it's Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson sharing the screen, in an adaptation of the 2019 novel, Die, My Love. The duo might have first found fame in The Hunger Games and Twilight respectively, but don't expect their newest work to follow suit. Rather, Die, My Love is slated as a psychological thriller, and despite dealing with some pretty intense topics, made serious waves when it premiered at Cannes just a few months ago. All the important details, below.
When does Die, My Love come out?
The film is slated for release in the US on November 7, 2025, which means Australia should soon follow suit. ICYMI, after premiering at Cannes, the film was acquired by Mubi in a $23 million deal. Mubi recently handled the awards season campaign for The Substance, so our fingers are crossed that Die, My Love follows suit.
What is Die, My Love about?
The film's official synopsis reads: "Set in a remote forgotten rural area, Die My Love follows a mother (Lawrence) who struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. Pattinson plays her husband and Stanfield, her lover."
The plot derives from Ariana Harwicz critically acclaimed novel by the same name. The book charts the struggles of a new mother and wife living in the remote countryside, who desperately grapples with the banality of her prescribed roles.
When Lawrence filmed the role, she was around five months pregnant with her second child. At Cannes, she spoke about drawing on her own experiences with new motherhood for the project, saying, “As a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do. And it was just heartbreaking.” She added, “there’s not really anything like postpartum … it’s extremely isolating. The truth is extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.”
