MUBI has unveiled the teaser trailer for Die My Love, the new feature from acclaimed director Lynne Ramsay. The film arrives at the BFI London Film Festival on October 17 as a headline gala before its theatrical rollout. Audiences in the United States and Canada will see it from November 7, while the UK, Ireland, and several European countries including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and the Benelux region will follow from November 14.
Adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s novel, the film follows Grace and Jackson, a young couple who leave New York to settle in an inherited house in the countryside. With a new baby, Grace faces the disorienting isolation of rural life. Her unraveling does not come in silence; instead, she discovers strength, imagination, and raw vitality that transform her sense of self. Set against the expanse of rural America, Die My Love portrays the collision of domestic love and psychological fracture.
The cast brings together a powerhouse lineup. Oscar winning actress Jennifer Lawrence takes on Grace, adding to her acclaimed performances in Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. Robert Pattinson plays Jackson, following acclaimed turns in The Batman and Mickey 17. LaKeith Stanfield, known for Judas and the Black Messiah, joins alongside veteran actors Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek. Their collective presence builds a layered ensemble for Ramsay’s vision.
Ramsay describes her approach as an exploration of everyday dramas and the sudden disruptions that fracture identity. She found her central figure in Grace, a woman simultaneously engulfed by love and by her own unraveling sense of self. Jackson, though deeply caring, remains unable to fully grasp her inner experience. This dynamic sits at the core of Ramsay’s interpretation of the story.
Her career has consistently pushed into uncompromising territory. She debuted with Ratcatcher in 1999, which earned her a BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer. She followed with Morvern Callar in 2002, which secured multiple Cannes awards. In 2011, We Need to Talk About Kevin brought her international recognition, with Tilda Swinton’s performance earning widespread acclaim. Ramsay’s Swimmer won the BAFTA for Best Short Film in 2012, while You Were Never Really Here in 2017 took home Cannes awards for Best Actor and Best Screenplay. More recently, her short Brigitte premiered in Venice as part of Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales series.
Critical reaction to Die My Love has already set expectations. Time Out called it “deeply raw and honest,” singling out Lawrence’s performance as “wildly impressive.” Next Best Picture described Ramsay’s vision as “visceral, poetic and deeply disturbing.” The Radio Times praised both Lawrence and Pattinson, noting that each was pushed to their limits on screen.
