Film Review – Die My Love

Writer/director Lynne Ramsay doesn’t work very often. She’s particular about her projects, last seen on screen with 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here.” The “Morvern Callar” and “We Need to Talk About Kevin” helmer is generally heralded by cineastes as an artful filmmaker with a profound love of the surreal and the unexplainable, and Ramsay doesn’t stray far from her career obsessions in “Die My Love,” which is an adaptation of a 2012 Ariana Harwicz novel. Exploring the ways of postpartum depression, Ramsay (joined by co-writers Enda Walsh and Alice Birch) uses the soul-swallowing experience to inspire a tour of the unreal, following a young mother’s battle with her mind and relationships as fresh responsibilities are met by newfound instability. “Die My Love” remains in line with other Ramsay offerings, hitting moments of indulgence one too many times, but there’s star Jennifer Lawrence, who’s always interesting as she tries to communicate a volcanic eruption of pain and confusion for the picture.
