In a candid interview with IndieWire, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and longtime film chameleon Robert Pattinson discussed their latest collaboration in Die My Love, a somber and surreal romantic drama directed by Lynne Ramsay that examines a young mother’s descent into emotional turmoil in rural Montana. The pair revealed how their real-life experiences of parenthood and anxiety fed into the film’s raw emotional texture, with Lawrence referencing that she is on Zoloft and Pattinson acknowledging he “possibly” has an anxiety disorder.
Lawrence described her performance as enriched by the visceral experience of pregnancy and the “animalistic state” she felt while filming—she was several months pregnant during the shoot, which she said gave her a new kind of creative freedom as she crawled through grass, allowed nudity without shame, and leaned into the film’s eerie stillness. Meanwhile, Pattinson framed his character, Jackson, as a partner who tries hard but can’t save his spouse from what he doesn’t understand—a role he called “fundamentally romantic” despite its helplessness.
Behind the Scenes: Panic, Pressure & Unfiltered Humanity
The interview revealed a behind-the-scenes moment that underscores the film’s emotional weight: Pattinson admitted that during a long dance sequence he nearly had a “mental breakdown,” drenched in sweat and pleading for choreography to ease his panic. He shared that the desert-like Montana heat during filming helped him “just stop thinking”—a curious kind of relief for someone who admits to overthinking.
On method acting, Lawrence and Pattinson traded humorous barbs: she laughed that she doesn’t “get anxious,” remembers lines in two reads, and joked that any method actor should try “staying in character and married.” Pattinson countered that method acting often looks like “just being grumpy all the time.” Both stars agreed that becoming parents reshaped their emotional depth on screen—Lawrence said motherhood made her “feel so much,” while Pattinson noted that parenthood “reinvigorated” his approach to work and life.
Die My Love premiered at Cannes earlier this year to strong reviews and an extended standing ovation, and is scheduled for theatrical release in November. With deeply personal revelations, emotionally fearless performances, and intense behind-the-scenes stories, the film could signal a new wave in Hollywood—one where vulnerability and mental health sit at the heart of powerful storytelling.
