Its all about the editing, the needle drops and the performance of Jennifer Lawrence, who gives an earthy performance as a new mother who has depression over take and destroy her life.
There is no getting over it DIE MY LOVE is well made movie. Its technical marvel whose editing style and use of music drive the film. Jennifer Lawrence is the pilot of this rocket to the darkside and she has never been better. It's an earthy, raw film where Lawrence lets it all hang out. You can't take your eyes off of her.
The problem here is the narrative. This is yet another woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown and we've been here before. This is not to take anything away from the magic on screen, except to reveal that the film doesn't do anything new here, except perhaps push things to an extreme. I liked what I saw, but the pieces and sequences are so good that I wish they all hung together better. I wanted it to say something new.
Worth a look for Jennifer Lawrence.
