Synopsis: "Grace, a writer and young mother, is slowly slipping into madness. Locked away in an old house in and around Montana, we see her acting increasingly agitated and erratic, leaving her companion, Jackson, increasingly worried and helpless."

I went to the 7:00pm Predator: Badlands opening night fan event at AMC IMAX and had the rest of the night to kill and another A-List slot, so I went to the 9:15pm show of Die My Love. I'd run into a young couple in the lobby going to it for the 7:00pm show with a Q&A with Jennifer Lawrence afterward (pre-taped, I assume).

This was well-made but a tough watch about a tough topic. Post-partum depression is an awful thing, and we go on the journey with her. Because her depression goes all over the place, you're never sure where each scene is headed, so you're left on edge much of the time, as well as a little bored because of a meandering story with no clear throughline. Good performances, powerful subject matter, but pretty long and more dull than I hoped it would be.

In my theater of 15 people or so, at least 2 walked out halfway through the movie and one row started getting on their phones toward the end.

That is just absolutely brutal.

I just watched this tonight, and was surprised to see a decent crowd, maybe discount Tuesday folks. But yeah, as fun as it was to see JLaw nude quite often, this was just unpleasant to watch. The editing was a often jarring here and there (I think I heard the guy she had an affair with tell her to stay away from him dialog only towards the end), but I guess it was mostly told chronologically with perhaps some elements that were only in her head. I mostly feared for the baby the whole movie, I would have been upset if she would have done something to him.

I saw it last Friday and would agree with the tough watch sentiment. Lawrence seems to be picking up the mantle for Kate Winslet.

Also, I found myself thinking that if my significant other had brought home a dog like that I probably would have gone crazy too.

Oh yeah, the husband definitely had his bizarre issues, too.

Yeah, that kind of implies that I'd hoped it would be dull, but not that dull. What I meant to write was it was more dull than I could have hoped. Waitasec...

This is what messed with my own head, because it definitely had the FEEL of a movie told with a fractured sense of time, as if we were going backward and forward from present to past, but when I think back on it, I think it WAS chronological. So I guess overall that was an interesting effect . . . Or is this movie just a disjointed mess?

This is streaming on Mubi

The title is misleading







Jennifer Lawrence probably the best role of her career though the ending WTF?

Three writers is never a good thing.

Fellowship of the Ring had three screenwriters. The Two Towers had four. Return of the King had three
