A movie to die for? (CREDIT: MUBI/Screenshot)

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte, LaKeith Stanfield

Director: Lynne Ramsay

Running Time: 118 Minutes

Rating: R

Release Date: November 7, 2025 (Theaters)

Now that I have watched the Lynne Ramsay-directed film Die My Love, I feel compelled to ask myself, “Would I ever like to live in Montana?” That’s because this particular movie is about a couple played by Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson who move to the Treasure State, where postpartum depression and general isolation start making themselves felt in a big way. And I do have a personal connection to the area, as one of my aunts used to live there, and she recommends it as absolutely beautiful in the summer months. So I see some pros, and I see some cons. Ultimately, though, I think I’ll have to conclude that Montana is just not for me. And in fact Die My Love only served to underscore that, even if it was actually filmed in Calgary. So I guess I don’t want to move to Alberta, either! Nevertheless, I’m glad I saw this movie, since it was appreciably surreal. On the other hand, it was also fairly enervating, so it probably won’t make it to the top of any of my personal lists anytime soon.
