In addition to Mubi releasing “Die, My Love” in the following territories – North America, Latin America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand, Deadline is confirming that the film has also sold to:
“Baltics (GPI), CIS (Provzglyad – Vesta), Hong Kong (Golden Scene), Indonesia (Falcon Films), Israel (Forum Film), Japan (The Klockworx), Middle East (Italia Films), Mongolia (FilmBridge), Philippines (Pioneer Films), Poland (Vision Film), Portugal (NOS Audiovisuais), Scandinavia (NonStop Entertainment) and Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro (KCS)”
That pretty much covers a lot of areas. As soon as release dates are announced, I will update our dedicated Film Page.

Joshua Rothkopf from LA Times sat down and spoke with Lynne Ramsay about “Die My Love” during Cannes. Here’s an extract of what Lynne had to say about working with Rob (otherwise click on link to read full interview which is a great read)
“When you’re working with actors such as Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence, they bring so much iconography. How do you strip that away and be like, I’ve got this piece of work that I want to do here?
I think they were very willing participants. There was a lot of trust. I try and create an atmosphere of trust and I just threw them into the fire. I did the sex scene on the first day. I thought it’s a risk. It’s either going to work or it’s going to be a disaster. But I could see there was chemistry. And when they arrived, I was getting them dancing. They were dancing together, synchronized. And it was fun. And then I think Robert was a little nervous, but then something just kind of broke the ice.
Doing a sex scene on the first day will break the ice, I imagine.
The first day I was scared. I was like, oh, my God, was this a good idea? But it actually was a good idea. Sometimes I’ve left those scenes for later and then it builds up so everyone’s gotten all nervous. You start this scene and they’re all thinking about it and overthinking it. So I just chucked them in the deep end.
Then there was a different scene, a longer one, and there was loads of dialogue and we only had a few hours — the light was going, maybe an hour-and-a-half left. And I saw the DP lying in the grass, Seamus McGarvey. And we both looked at each other and were like: There’s no way we’re going to finish this scene. There’s no way we can do it.
And we’re both lying in the grass and we look down at the grass and I look at him and I go, “Well, what if they’re like cats in the grass? Why don’t we just do it here?” So I’m running back to the bloody actors and I’m going, “Right, OK, we’re changing the whole scene, taking all the dialogue out. And you’re both cats. You’re both like cats.” And they’re both like, what the f—?
You just discovered that in the moment?
Yeah. Because we didn’t have the time and I’m really glad I did. And they were so trusting. Robert was like, “That was a good scene.” Then Jen went, “Yeah, I can see it.” It was all at breakneck speed. We shot it in an hour or something.”

Lynne Ramsay seems a little frustrated about the misinterpretation of “DIE MY LOVE” by critics claiming the film is about postpartum depression. According to Deadline, this is what Lynne Ramsay had to say during an interview in Cannes with Elvis Mitchell:
““This whole postpartum thing is just bullshit,” Ramsay said Monday afternoon of the discourse surrounding her movie during a fireside chat with veteran film journalist and critic Elvis Mitchell here in Cannes. “It’s not about that. It’s about a relationship breaking down, it’s about love breaking down, and sex breaking down after having a baby. And it’s also about a creative block.”

Siân Richards (makeup artist on the film) shared this photo on her IG today from wrap day last August.

MUBI has signed on to distribute “Die, My Love” according to Deadline:
“Mubi has won out in a multi-distributor tug of war for Jennifer Lawrence‘s Cannes Competition film Die My Love, we understand. The voracious buyer is taking domestic and multiple international rights.
The deal is in the range of $23 million, maybe closer to $24 million, with full domestic theatrical commitment on 1,500 screens for 45 days, we hear. The territories were: North America, Latin America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand. It’s the first major deal on the ground for a film playing at Cannes and by far Mubi’s biggest acquisition ever.
…
This is a big one for Mubi and its chief Jason Ropell, coming after its breakout work last Oscar season on The Substance. We hear the bidding on this one was fevered, with Apple, Neon and others also in the mix. The theatrical plan and Mubi’s creative alignment on the film and how to release it won the day.” [My emphasis]
The good news is that Australia now has a distributor and secretly I’m hoping we might get to see an early release of it at the Sydney Film Festival *putting it out there*.
18 May 2025
Finally we have a theatrical poster for this film (which I’ve moved to the top of the post).
Thanks Film Crave

The Wrap listed “Die, My Love” as one of the buzziest films for sale at Cannes this year:
“Scottish director Lynne Ramsay is one of the most exciting filmmakers working today and the fact that she has only made five features total, beginning with her outstanding debut feature “Ratcatcher” (back in 1999), turning the release of each new film into a verifiable event. “Die, My Love,” her first since 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here,” is an adaptation of the 2017 novel by Adriana Harwicz (Ramsay wrote the script with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch), follows a woman (Jennifer Lawrence) who develops postpartum depression, which then takes an even darker turn. Robert Pattinson plays her husband, with supporting turns by LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte. Given the caliber of talent involved – and unless the movie is an unlikable slog – it seems like “Die, My Love” will get snapped up quickly and be positioned for awards this fall, especially if it takes home the Palme d’Or.” [My emphasis]
Also IMDbPro marked “Die, My Love” as completed as of 13 May 2025.
13 May 2025
This year at Cannes the press conference for Die My Love will be held after the premiere on 17 May 2025 – see details below
9 May 2025
The official page for the Cannes film festival is now live and 17 May 2025 it is for the premiere. Thanks to @RobPattzFr for the link to the programme that confirms “Die My Love” will premiere at 8.45pm on 17 May 2025. The photocall and press conference will clearly be earlier on that day. (Looks like I better set my alarm on Sunday 18 May).
In the meantime, here are all current screenings for the film:
Also, Sissy Spacek will Guest on THR’s ‘Awards Chatter’ Pod Live from the Palais on 17 May 2025.
4 May 2025
According to World of Reel the runtime of some of the Cannes competition films have been leaked, and the run time for this film will be 2 hours 2 minutes:
“I’ve added Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love,” which is 122 minutes, easily the lengthiest film of her career. I’ve also learned that Ramsay shot this film in 1.33:1 and, partially, on the very rare Kodak Ektachrome.”
The Cannes ticket site should open up tomorrow and I will post any updates.
Also, this is yet to be confirmed, but I hope this date is true since it’s a Saturday night – Die, My Love
25 April 2025
You may recall that we posted earlier this year that Die, My Love does not have a distributor. Deadline reported today that Patrick Wachsberger’s joint venture with Legendary Entertainment – 193 is now on board as an international sales agent with Rick York of LBI Entertainment handling US sales – “It now has one of the Cannes Film Festival’s most high-profile movies to tempt buyers”.
I hope Australia’s Madman Entertainment takes their cheque book to Cannes – this film seems right up their alley.
24 April 2025
It’s official, Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love” joins the competition line-up for Cannes according to Screen Daily. Happy birthday to Rob as the competition commences 13 May 2025 until 24 May 2024.
“Cannes 2025 Official Selection additional titles
Competition
Die My Love, dir. Lynne Ramsay
Woman And Child, dir. Saeed Roustaee
It has also been added to the official Cannes website
18 April 2025
According to World of Reel “Die, My Love is headed to Cannes:
“Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love” just screened for Cannes, and word on the Croisette is—they loved it. Two separate sources tell me the film, starring none other than Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence, is now officially locked for competition. Buckle up.”
I’m buckled and raring to go! C’mon Thierry confirm it already. I believe next round of films to be announced will be around 21 April 2025.
11 April 2025
Cannes announced their lineup last night and as expected, Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love” was not in the initial lineup. Cannes director Thierry Frémaux did confirm, however, that the announced lineup wasn’t the complete lineup. We still have our fingers crossed that the film will make it’s debut and be added at a later date, however, IndieWire is reporting:
“Not showing up among the six female directors in competition this year, so far, was Lynne Ramsay with “Die, My Love,” a supposed horror-comedy that would bring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson to the glittery Palais red carpet (and counts Martin Scorsese among the producers). All of Ramsay’s films have premiered at Cannes, including her last feature, 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here,” which won the Screenplay prize. The strike-delayed shoot on “Die, My Love” wrapped in Canada in fall 2024, so you’d think this in theory should’ve been ready for Cannes by now. But we hear it’s still in the edit.”
8 April 2025
According to Deadline:
“We hear that Lynne Ramsay’s new film Die, My Love, which has Martin Scorsese among its producers, may not be ready in time to be announced at Thursday’s presser but could potentially be added at a later date.”
Fingers crossed we hear something about this film soon (and maybe another still featuring Rob would be great) – just saying.
4 April 2025
As we count down to the days when the Cannes line-up will be announced (10 April 2025), CineEuropa has entered the debate with the following:
The best-kept secrets are those that leak as late as possible. Because of a wish to keep the media in the dark or because of the absolute trust it has in its ability to adapt at the last minute, given the reassuring glut of talents on offer, the official selection of the 78th Cannes Film Festival (13-24 May) has this year held on to the reins of its invitations like seldom before, a move which is having a domino effect on general expectations and the parallel sections’ decisions.
Nevertheless, things are hotting up exactly one week ahead of the official selection press conference in Paris, during which Thierry Frémaux (accompanied by president Iris Knobloch) will unveil some of the cards up his sleeve, with a healthy armful of additions being expected at a later date. Having said that, the viewings by the Cannes selection committees still continue apace (the surprise move to bring the press conference forwards by a week having disrupted certain presentation plans by the producers of films still in post-production), and the Venice Film Festival is also keeping a close eye on the revelations in order to make potential counteroffers. Therefore, overall, things are basically as clear as mud for the cinephile forecasters, who are making amendments to their lists left, right and centre while also hoping to make out some glimmers of certainty here and there. Still, let’s gaze into the crystal ball for the 2025 edition of Cannes, which on paper appears to be of a very lofty level, given the plethora of high-calibre contenders waiting in line.
In competition, standing out among the probable titles … are Father, Mother, Sister, Brother by US helmer Jim Jarmusch, The Secret Agent by Brazil’s Kleber Mendonça Filho, Sentimental Value by Norway’s Joachim Trier, The Young Mothers’ Home by Belgium’s Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Die, My Love by Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay … [my emphasis]
Thanks to JLawSource for the heads up.
11 March 2025
We have posted previously in this post that “Die, My Love” may be part of the Cannes line-up. THR are also speculating that this may be so given that we are two months away from the festival. Reminder that the lineup will be announced mid-April:
“Lynne Ramsay does not make many movies, but when she does finish one, it goes to Cannes. Her 1999 feature debut, Ratcatcher, was in Un Certain Regard; her 2002 follow-up Morvern Callar premiered in Directors’ Fortnight; and We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) and You Were Never Really Here (2017) were both in competition. Ramsay’s Cannes connection actually extends further, with shorts Small Deaths (1996) and Gasman (1998) both bowing on the Croisette. Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Lawrence and LaKeith Stanfield star in her latest, a psychological thriller adapted from a novel by Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz about a woman in rural France driven to the brink of insanity by marriage and motherhood.”
4 March 2025
During Robert Pattinson & Bong Joon-Ho Talk Mickey 17, Future Roles & Guilty Pleasures for GQ, Rob disclosed the following about his dance scene in Die, My Love:
“I did this movie with Lynne Ramsay, and she’s a really good dancer. And Jennifer Lawrence is a really good dancer. They just find it so easy. They’re like, ‘Just dance, it’s just music playing, just dance,’” Pattinson said. “I was like, ‘I’m going to have a mental breakdown when this happens. We need to either choreograph it or cut it.’ And they’re like, ‘No, just dance, stop being all freak.’ It came to the day, and I was sweating so much, the insides of my trousers, with sweat, were wet.”
Thanks IndieWire
28 February 2025
Still waiting on any information regarding this film, so for now I’ll tease you with what may be the potential logo for the film.
The potential “logo” for ‘Die, my love’ starring Jennifer Lawrence & Robert Pattinson appears yet again.👀
— Jennifer Lawrence Source (@jlawsupdate) February 27, 2025
Apparently, select crew members received customized notebooks and water bottles featuring the logo.
It also appeared on the ‘Thank you’ cards for the crew. pic.twitter.com/z3a6nBxeyz
18 February 2025
We previously mentioned that it was possible for Die, My Love to premiere at Cannes (or at least have a special midnight screening). However, Deadline is now reporting:
“With one of Europe’s three flagship film festivals approaching half way stage, minds are already beginning to focus on the shape of the next two: Cannes and Venice. The former will be upon us before we know it.
…
Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love could be Cannes, Venice or another fall festival.”
Again, it’s speculation. The film is yet to snag a distributor. Stay tuned for more updates.
27 January 2025
According to Jennifer Lawrence Source, “Die, My Love” looks like it will be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year. It was mentioned twice in interviews by Marcus Della Rosa (who plays the lifeguard in the film). Cannes will run between 13 – 24 May 2025 and official selections will be announced mid-April 2025. As I mentioned to JLS, if it’s not in competition it could premiere as a Midnight Screening, especially if it is looking for distributors. Stay tuned!

18 January 2025
IndieWire released an article of books to read before their film adaption comes to the screen. In it both Mickey17 and Die My Love were mentioned (I’m about to start reading coincidentally). The interesting comment on Die My Love was this [my emphasis]:
Ramsay has been known to take a loose approach to her source material, freely adapting Lionel Schriver’s “We Need to Talk About Kevin” and Jonathan Ames’ “You Were Never Really Here.” She wrote the script for “Die, My Love” with Edna Walsh and again works with DP Seamus McGarvey, who created a nightmarish swirl of hallucinatory images for “Kevin.” The movie doesn’t have a U.S. distributor yet, but I’d bet on at least a Cannes premiere (where Ramsay generally goes) and a distributor snapping this up quick.“
How great would that be seeing Rob portray Jackson at a Cannes premiere . Fingers crossed.
20 October 2024
IMDb is showing this film as in production and shares that the film finished filming on 16 October 2024.
Betty Tong Casting also confirmed today on IG that the film has wrapped:
1 September 2024
Apologies for the slow update on this project. Rob is currently in production according to KFTV in Calgary:
“Production will take place in and around Calgary, Canada from Monday 19 August until Tuesday October 8.”
According to Deadline:
Oscar winner Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and three-time Oscar nominee Nick Nolte (The Thin Red Line) have been tapped for roles in Die, My Love, Lynne Ramsay’s thriller based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz.
Details as to the duo’s roles are under wraps. The project reunites Spacek and Nolte following their work together on Affliction, the 1997 crime drama written and directed by Paul Schrader. As previously announced, Jennifer Lawerence, Robert Pattinson and LaKeith Stanfield will also star.
10 August 2024
Did not think excitment for this project could get more ramped up but …
“Die, my love will be filming in Canada this month” one of the writer posted it 14 hours ago 👀 pic.twitter.com/1oi92DUXpy

27 July 2024
Deadline is reporting that Rob is in talks to join Jennifer Lawrance in Lynne Ramsay’s new film
“In what would mark the first time the two A-listers have shared a screen together, sources tell Deadline that Robert Pattinson is in negotiations to star opposite Jennifer Lawrence in the thriller Die, My Love, which Lynne Ramsay is directing. Ramsay also co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh.
Set in a remote forgotten rural area, the story follows a mother who struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. It is unknown who Pattinson would play.”
According to World of Reel the film is set to start production in Canada this week:
“Die, My Love,” an adaptation of a novel by Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz, is being described as a stark tale set in rural France of a woman driven to the brink of insanity by marriage and motherhood. Martin Scorsese is set to produce the film.
Ramsay co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh. Meanwhile, Justine Ciarrocchi, Lawerence Marty Scorsese and Andrea Calderwell are producing with Black Label Media financing.”
And according to JLawsUpdates on Twitter, Production Weekly has confirmed Rob as a cast member
