Die My Love

This is a very good move. It's also an awful movie. Jennifer Lawrence acts the heck out of it - seriously good work. It's a huge rule that could have been cartoonish but she gives it nuance and depth. Robert Pattinson isn't quite as good but he holds his own.

Postpartum depression is not a topic I've seen done before, surely because it makes us confront uncomfortable things about mothers, who we'd rather idealize. So I give the producers a lot of credit for tackling the subject.

But it's about an unlikable woman going through miserable times, causing havoc in her wake. Of course people aren't going to like that.

My only possible criticism is that the portrayal of mental illness didn't seem fully authentic to me. But I say "possible" because I'm not a mental health professional and obviously I have not had postpartum depression.

But, the protagonists problems weren't only postpartum depression but that pushes her over the edge. I'll guess that's how it usually works.

Please stop casting Jennifer Lawrence in these kinds of roles: impatient, grumpy, aggressive, unstable, rude, crazy, and out of control. Her performances feel repetitive and boring. She is a good actress, but can she be given a different kind of role? I also believe this character would feel stronger if it were played by another actor. I kept seeing echoes of her previous films in this one.

As for the ending, the fire imagery feels forced and cliché. I couldn't enjoy the film, and the male lead didn't really have much room to develop his character either.

Its truly a sad story about postpartum. Its something that isn't talked about enough and does happen. This was on the deep end of the pool in my opinion and the whole movie is just weird, depression or not. Too much went into the shots that it kinda took away from the story a bit in my opinion. Thats weird for me to say because I normally love that. Throwing in the dog and the disrespect from the husband didn't help add to her postpartum depression, of course she was. Why was that never focused on? Overall this sad movie was good catching emotions and the pain. It just wasn't for me and the movie felt long.

Die My Love is a very boring version of postpartum depression, the kind of depression that only happens in movies. Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are both completely miscast as a couple of people who seem to be a bit nuts. This depiction of depression, selfishness, and bad choices comes across as unrealistic unless you believe this modern couple are morons. There seem to be dream sequences but you can never be quite sure and Lawrence is acting for dear life, like the next Oscar is calling her name. The movie is filled with annoying sound effects and noises and like so many films takes place in a rural setting as if rural America and depression are synonymous. Neither lead is likable and so much of the movie is just Lawrence acting a bit crazy which is never realistic enough to be interesting and becomes monotonous. Pattinson's character is so unlikable and self-centered he makes her character seem sane in her decisions. This is just not a good movie. It's actually offensive in taking a serious subject and turning it into garbage for mass consumption.

I've watched this movie alone in cinema. I'm not expecting anything at all. But the movie delivered interesting plot and great acting from lead but it quite not brought that exciting part I kind of thought it needed. It was really cinematic but not engaging. I don't know but critic's review is somewhat different to public viewing's opinion about it. I managed to finish the movie and not leaving even though some viewers at the cinema already left just not half of the movie was over. But the movie for me, tackled depression and the state of coping about loss. It was average, but not for me on the first watch. Maybe on the second watch it'll grow and will also unravel some keys to my questions but indeed this movie is really not for everyone.
