It’s always a good year when we get a new Lynne Ramsay movie. The acclaimed Scottish auteur is back with Die, My Love, which will hit US theatres on 7th November, reports Deadline. 

It marks Ramsay’s first collaboration with both Oscar-winning Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, having enjoyed its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Reports state that distributor MUBI snapped up the rights for a sizeable $24 million.

The film, based on Ariana Harwicz’s novel of the same name, stars Lawrence and Pattinson as a married couple who move from bustling New York to the remote Montana countryside. Upon arrival, they descend into animalistic behaviour and start to come apart at the seams. Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and LaKeith Stanfield also star.

Produced by Martin Scorsese, Die My Love received positive reviews at Cannes, with Lawrence receiving the lion’s share of the plaudits. The Guardian‘s Peter Bradshaw describes it as, “Fierce, angry, engaged, and intensely, sensually alert to every detail of its own pleasure and pain”.

Ramsay is famous for her moody, fragmented portrayals of emotions under siege. Morvern Callar (2002) starred Samantha Morton as a lonely Scottish woman who disposes of her dead boyfriend’s body. The excoriating We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) used Tilda Swinton’s tremulous central performance to put parental anxieties under the microscope. And You Were Never Really Here (2018) elicited a typically strong turn from Joaquin Phoenix as a hammer-wielding vigilante who is out to save a young child.

Die My Love is Ramsay’s fifth feature film, her debut being the moodily atmospheric 1999 drama Ratcatcher and the filmmaker says her latest project explores the “complexity of love and how it can change and transform over time”.

Die My Love hasn’t set a UK release date, but don’t be surprised if you see it pop up at this year’s London Film Festival in October…
