Movie Review: Die My Love

The problem with a movie as horrible as "Die My Love" is that too many will be fooled into seeing it because the cast includes two Academy Award winners, Jennifer Lawrence and Sissy Spacek, and three-time Oscar nominee Nick Nolte. Well-known actor Robert Pattinson is also in this disaster for reasons unknown. Most moviegoers will probably think that a movie cannot be bad if so many experienced, rich, and famous actors are in it. Of course, they all read the script and wanted to make this film for their own growth as actors, the message, or some other important reason that did not include money, because this was a low-budget movie. Unfortunately for those who go to this horrific mess, they will be tortured for two hours with scenes that include loud noises of a dog constantly barking, loud arguments and foul language, a baby crying, and even Jennifer Lawrence crawling around barking like a dog in several scenes. What is the point of all this? Perhaps to make the audience nauseous. Too bad there is no movie award for the highest number of people throwing up in theaters.

The plot of his terrible movie is about a young couple, Grace and Jackson, who live in a depressing old house in the middle of nowhere. Despite their mostly bad marriage, they decide to have a baby, resulting in Grace, played by Jennifer Lawrence, staying home all day with the child and her husband Jackson, played by Pattinson, at his job all day and having affairs with other women. They later stupidly decide to get a dog, which does nothing but bark nonstop in every scene and later becomes very sick - perhaps because the dog read the screenplay. The early scenes of Grace with her newborn baby are some of the worst in these nightmare two hours, as she becomes understandably extremely depressed and acts more and more insane at a level that becomes unbearable to watch. Of course, Grace has postpartum depression, made worse by the dump of a house she is living in all alone, in the middle of nowhere, without even a television to distract her from her horrible existence. Grace was formerly a writer, and once pregnant, she gave up on her profession, another reason for her depression.

There are occasional visits to Jackson's parents, and his mother, Pam, played by Sissy Spacek, in an effort to add more depth to this bad script and give Grace more excuses to act insane in front of Jackson's parents and Pam's neighbors. There is one scene with Nick Nolte, Jackson's father, probably to make this of movie torture hit the two hour length. Jennifer Lawrence has several nude scenes, perhaps to trick more people into seeing this movie, a marketing tactic that, in my experience, almost always backfires with bad movies.

The Rotten Tomatoes rating for this horrific film is an insanely innacurate 78% with the audience consensus a more accurate 46%. My rating is 0% and a recommendation to set fire to this nightmare before it's released to any streaming service. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.
