Still, it is always incredibly arresting, elevated by Jennifer Lawrence in a no-holds-barred performance that sees her lose all inhibition. The actor takes on a carnal physicality unlike anything she’s embodied before, and it doesn’t feel as if she’s acting so much as allowing the character’s spirit to take hold of her. Pattinson, who’s no stranger to exploring the farthest extremes of himself on screen, is right there with her as Grace’s increasingly distant husband. But this film belongs to Lawrence, devoting every inch of her body to a bold, unrelenting and invigorating study of just how unforgiving motherhood can be.

Lynne Ramsay‘s restless, hallucinatory “Die My Love” features a scene where Grace (Jennifer Lawrence) and her boyfriend, Jackson (Robert Pattinson), attend a children’s birthday party with their baby. The party is populated by people like them, young parents with kids. But Grace’s behavior is volatile and strange: she lets a stranger hold her baby and then wanders off, drinking wine, staring around her, bristling with contempt or boredom. Grace is practically in an altered state, and her day-to-day experience of being a parent is clearly unmentionable to people who manage it so effortlessly. A well-intentioned woman says to Grace sympathetically, “People don’t talk about how hard being a parent can be.” Grace says, bluntly and rudely, “That’s all anyone ever talks about.”
