Die My Love

Please stop casting Jennifer Lawrence in these kinds of roles: impatient, grumpy, aggressive, unstable, rude, crazy, and out of control. Her performances feel repetitive and boring. She is a good actress, but can she be given a different kind of role? I also believe this character would feel stronger if it were played by another actor. I kept seeing echoes of her previous films in this one.

As for the ending, the fire imagery feels forced and cliché. I couldn't enjoy the film, and the male lead didn't really have much room to develop his character either.

This is a very good move. It's also an awful movie. Jennifer Lawrence acts the heck out of it - seriously good work. It's a huge rule that could have been cartoonish but she gives it nuance and depth. Robert Pattinson isn't quite as good but he holds his own.

Postpartum depression is not a topic I've seen done before, surely because it makes us confront uncomfortable things about mothers, who we'd rather idealize. So I give the producers a lot of credit for tackling the subject.

But it's about an unlikable woman going through miserable times, causing havoc in her wake. Of course people aren't going to like that.

My only possible criticism is that the portrayal of mental illness didn't seem fully authentic to me. But I say "possible" because I'm not a mental health professional and obviously I have not had postpartum depression.

But, the protagonists problems weren't only postpartum depression but that pushes her over the edge. I'll guess that's how it usually works.

I've watched this movie alone in cinema. I'm not expecting anything at all. But the movie delivered interesting plot and great acting from lead but it quite not brought that exciting part I kind of thought it needed. It was really cinematic but not engaging. I don't know but critic's review is somewhat different to public viewing's opinion about it. I managed to finish the movie and not leaving even though some viewers at the cinema already left just not half of the movie was over. But the movie for me, tackled depression and the state of coping about loss. It was average, but not for me on the first watch. Maybe on the second watch it'll grow and will also unravel some keys to my questions but indeed this movie is really not for everyone.

I knew this type of movie would be for me, but I also understand it's a very niche genre. I think to some level, you have to understand what she's going through to appreciate it. I didn't suffer PPD, but my husband and I were in a car accident that almost killed me and took the life of our 19yr old daughter. We had only just moved to a new state for a fresh start 2mos prior. The year after the accident, I became isolated, depressed, and started to lose it, much in the same as she did. My husband still had to work and provide for me and our other children since I was injured and broken mentally. She literally was living out my intrusive thoughts in the movie. Maybe my situation made it hit close to home and appreciate seeing that on the screen. It also made me feel for my husband who had the weight of the world on his shoulders while grieving and losing me at the same time. My husband and I have been separated for awhile and I don't blame him. The story plays out much like a fractured mind, it's all over the place, but that's the most honest way to depict the story. Despite some negative reviews, I loved it and am glad this movie exists. The performances were amazing, especially Jennifer's. I hope she gets another Oscar for this.

I'm sure this movie resonates with plenty people out there but I found it tedious, dull and pretentious. It fails to get out of first gear, and although the acting is decent, neither Lawrence nor Pattinson seemed to be in the least bit challenged. The only reason I could figure for those two signing up for this was to work with each other. To label it a dark comedy is ridiculous. There were at best 2 chuckle moments in the entirety. I kept hanging on for something to pull me in and make me the least bit interested but it never materialized. The Joy Division cover for the end credits seemed well out of place and felt pretentious in the extreme. Not sure why anyone ever thought this would make a good movie. It's not.
