Jennifer Lawrence’s Triumphant Return: ‘Die, My Love’ Sparks Oscar Buzz as Star Receives Career Honor
A New Chapter in an Illustrious Career
Jennifer Lawrence, widely recognized as the most successful actress of her generation and the first person born in the 1990s to win an acting Oscar, is making headlines once again in 2025.
The acclaimed actress is set to be honored at the San Sebastián Film Festival with the prestigious Donostia Award for career achievement, where she will personally attend to accept the recognition.
Critical Acclaim for ‘Die, My Love’
Her latest film, ‘Die, My Love,’ directed by Lynne Ramsay and featuring Robert Pattinson as her co-star, tells the story of Grace, a writer and young mother who gradually descends into madness while isolated in an old house in Montana.
Critics are particularly impressed with Lawrence’s portrayal of a new mother dealing with post-partum depression, noting that her depiction of the character’s deteriorating mental health will be particularly impactful when it reaches audiences.
According to Deadline’s review from Cannes, the film is being described as a ‘mesmerizing’ and ‘brutal but beautiful story.’ The performance has generated significant Oscar buzz, with critics suggesting it could earn Lawrence her fifth Academy Award nomination.
A Star-Studded Production
The film features an impressive ensemble cast including LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte, and Sissy Spacek. The project brings together an exceptional creative team, with Ramsay directing from a script she co-wrote with Enda Walsh and Alice Birch. The production boasts notable producers including Martin Scorsese and Lawrence herself through her company Excellent Cadaver.
Looking Ahead
Audiences won’t have to wait long to see Lawrence’s acclaimed performance, as ‘Die, My Love’ is scheduled for theatrical release on November 7, 2025. While early Cannes reviews suggest Lawrence has positioned herself as an early frontrunner in the awards race, the film itself has received mixed reviews, with Mubi securing distribution rights for a reported $20 million.
