Die My Love review

 


Die My Love is a story about love, unrelenting depression and ultimately learning to let go. Jennifer Lawrence steals the show as Grace a new mom who slowly descends into postpartum psychosis who forgets her career as an aspiring writer to look after her and her husband's new born son in a broken down old and lonely home. What starts as a big, loud and bombastic love escape Die My Love slowly descends into something very emotionally charged and what is for some women a very serious issue indeed. Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence deliver two amazing, amazing performances here with the heavyness of Grace's diagnosis proving to be a lot on such a new young family. 

Jennifer Lawrence has arguably never been better here in a performance that is fearless and absolutely heartbreaking. Watching her slowly break and crumble before your eyes is both tragic and profound. She is a powerhouse in some scenes while tragedy incarnate in others. As for Pattinson he strikes the perfect balance between the two not really understanding what his partner is going through but once he does it's a giant leap forward in the plot that for the most part is very solid and well done. 


Die My Love is a bit of a tough watch and not because it's bad or boring or anything like that but mainly for it's core issue. It is deeply rooted in tragic circumstances and showcases the true horror of postpartum psychosis for women everywhere. Jennifer Lawrence gives an award worth performance and overall Die My Love may make for some uncomfortable viewing but it really does dig it's claws deep into you with a quirky and delightful soundtrack only helping to elevate it to something quite special indeed. Solid and well worth checking out!

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
