According to its IMDb description, Die, My Love is about the story of a new mother, Grace, played by Lawrence, living in a remote rural farmhouse in Montana.

Was it difficult for Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence to portray their characters in Die, My Love?

In the upcoming film, Die, My Love, which was recently shown at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Jennifer Lawrence plays the role of Grace, who is the central character. The role of her husband, Jackson, is portrayed by Robert Pattinson.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actors discussed their experience working on the film and whether the roles were challenging for them. According to the outlet, portraying their characters in the film was challenging, especially for Lawrence. She said:

“It was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what [Grace] would do… Extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating.”

She added,

“No matter where you are, you feel like an alien, and so it deeply moved me. I’ve wanted to work with Lynne Ramsay since I saw Ratcatcher (1999) and I was like, ‘There’s no way.’ But we took a chance, and we sent it to her. And I really, I cannot believe that I’m here with you.”

When Robert Pattinson was asked the same question, he had a different perspective. He said:

“I didn’t find anything particularly hard. This was someone I’ve always wanted to work with, and you create an atmosphere on set where I don’t need to really describe things as like, hard or easy."

"It’s quite an unusual environment. But when you trust your director so much… you create an aura on set where you’re being led in the direction. You don’t really know exactly where it is, but to trust the director so much.”

When they were asked about how being parents to their kids has influenced their careers, the actors. Lawrence said,

“Having children changes everything. It changes your whole life, but it’s brutal and incredible.”
