From director Lynne Ramsay comes Die My Love starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. The teaser trailer was released on September 5th, 2025, providing the initial look at one of the year’s films. The film will hit theaters on November 7th with production by MUBI. It has been adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s 2012 novel of the same name.
The trailer sets the tone for the film as snapshots of rural Montana flash to a house where Grace (Jennifer Lawrence) and her husband Jackson (Robert Pattinson) are slowly adjusting to their new life with a child. Initially, Grace has a hard time integrating into her new town, especially given the isolation of rural life. On top of that, the pressures of motherhood begin to take a toll on her. Jackson tries to support her but remains emotionally distant in crucial moments. Things quickly turn eerie as Grace’s mental state becomes evident, with mood swings and moments of paranoia altering her perception of reality. The teaser moves between simple family moments and sudden, unnerving episodes, underlining the tension between domestic life and mental instability. Alongside these struggles, Grace’s inner disorder and the way her imagination intersects with her reality ultimately begin to paint an intense psychological portrait of a woman grappling with mental illness, creativity, and her sense of self.
Set to Shirley Ellis’s ‘The Clapping Song,’ the teaser contrasts the track’s rhythms with unsettling imagery, creating a sense of dissonance. This clash adds to the trailer’s atmosphere, while Grace’s sudden movements heighten the underlying tension and fear. This difference highlights the film’s themes, a story that addresses postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, strained relationships, and creative frustration, while including elements of surreal humor and absurdity.
The film premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival and received a standing ovation lasting six to nine minutes. Early praise has started to come in, with Time Magazine calling Die My Love Lawrence’s best performance and stating, “What Lawrence does in Die My Love is delicately textured, even within its bold expressiveness, and its fiery anger, that it leaves you scrambling for adjectives. It’s the kind of performance you go to the movies for… it scares you a little.” Ramsay’s directing has been noted for its visual language and use of music to enhance psychological unease. With Alice Birch and Enda Walsh by her side, Ramsay continues her reputation for intimate character studies.
With its newly released teaser, Die My Love aims to portray a portrait of mental illness while maintaining a distinctive style, making the film likely to be a major player in this year’s awards season.
