Lynne Ramsay’s highly-anticipated Die, My Love will be arriving slap bang in the middle of awards season 2025.
Lynne Ramsay may not be the most prolific of filmmakers but whenever she does put a movie out into the world, it never goes unnoticed. You Were Never Really Here, released in 2017, was a terribly effective blend of hitman thriller and character-focused drama fronted by Joaquin Phoenix. Since then, Ramsay has been working away on things, and it’s the upcoming Die, My Love that marks her next directorial release.
After causing quite the buzz at Cannes this year following its premiere, MUBI acquired the film for $24m, the biggest acquisition of the festival.
Die, My Love features a fascinating lead duo of Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson with the former as a mother battling post-partum depression. Pattinson plays the husband, while Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and LaKeith Stansfield all co-star.
Reviews have been positive so far, with Lawrence’s portrayal of a struggling mother coming in for particular praise. Given the film’s newly-announced release date of 7th November, we’d imagine that from the strength of such positive notices that Lawrence will be an ever-present on the awards circuit this year.
That date is a US release date by the way, with no announcement for the UK forthcoming at this time, but hopefully the film will appear on these shores at around the same time.
Hopefully, the strong reaction garnered thus far will translate into positive momentum for Ramsay’s next projects although for whatever reason, that never quite seems to happen.
Whether her next project – which we think will be Stone Matress – does shoot later this year as Ramsay suggested a while back, we don’t yet know. Ramsay revealed at the tail-end of 2024 that she’d been scouting locations for the film and was even thinking of shooting it this year although that hasn’t happened yet to our knowledge. The filmmaker also has Polaris in pre–production, another collaboration with Joaquin Phoenix following their acclaimed work on You Were Never Really Here.
We’ll bring you more on any of these projects as we hear it.
