IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VOLTA PICTURES
Dinner and a show? Enter the competition below …
Few on-screen pairings could stop film fans in their tracks quite like Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, two of the most recognisable talents of their generation. The result is unforgettable. Opening in cinemas nationwide from November 7, Die My Love is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. After its explosive premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, the film drew praise for its raw energy, daring visual style, and unflinching look at parenthood. The kind of film that demands to be experienced on the big screen – not simply watched, but felt.
A Meeting of Icons
Lawrence and Pattinson’s early blockbuster roles defined a generation who grew up on The Hunger Games and Twilight. In Die My Love, they come together in a story that could not be further from their franchise roots. Lawrence delivers one of her most daring performances yet as a woman unravelled by desire and the pressures of motherhood. Pattinson matches her intensity, playing a man whose devotion and resentment become impossible to separate. The chemistry between them is electric, shifting constantly between tenderness and chaos.
Lynne Ramsay’s Vision
At the helm is Lynne Ramsay, one of the most distinctive filmmakers working today. Known for We Need to Talk About Kevin and You Were Never Really Here, she brings her signature intensity to the screen, creating a world that feels both beautiful and brutal. The film brims with punk energy and a sense of unpredictability that will keep audiences on the edge of their seat. Critics have described Die My Love as “a psychosexual fever dream” and “a bold, unsentimental depiction of love and madness.” Ramsay said that she wanted to capture the contradictions of modern womanhood: the pull between passion and exhaustion, the yearning for freedom that clashes with the realities of responsibility.
Jennifer Lawrence Like You’ve Never Seen Her
Lawrence is magnetic and fearless, channelling a wild, almost dangerous side. Awards buzz is already building, though her performance is about far more than accolades. Every emotion feels lived-in and truthful. Pattinson brings an equally hypnotic presence, giving one of his most layered performances as a man undone by love. Together, they create something volatile, intimate and real.
A Story That Dares to Go There
Die My Love is not a traditional romance, but something more honest. It acknowledges the mess, the longing and the danger that often accompany passion. What makes it so gripping is Ramsay’s refusal to offer easy answers. She looks directly at the darker side of love and identity. Instead of turning away, she invites the audience to stay with the beauty and discomfort of it all. The result is a cinematic dream, with flashes of dark humour that catch you by surprise.
The Film Everyone Will Be Talking About
Since its debut at Cannes, Die My Love has sparked intense discussion among critics and audiences alike. Many are calling it one of the defining films of the year, one that could shape awards season and the careers of its stars. More than that, it’s a cultural moment. With its striking visual language, emotional intensity and brave performances, Die My Love stands apart as one of this year’s most talked about films. It lingers long after the credits roll – daring, disruptive and impossible to forget.
