Lynne Ramsay (b. 1969, Glasgow) is a Scottish filmmaker acclaimed for her visually intense and psychologically probing films. A graduate of the National Film and Television School, she debuted with Ratcatcher (1999) and followed with Morvern Callar (2002). Her international breakthrough came with We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011), and she cemented her reputation with You Were Never Really Here (2017). Ramsay’s adaptation of Die My Love (2025) continues her exploration of trauma, motherhood, and mental unraveling.
Based on Ariana Harwicz’s novel, the film follows Grace, a young mother and writer living in rural Montana.

Ramsay’s adaptation captures the raw intensity of Grace’s inner world, blending psychological horror with intimate drama. Through haunting visuals and fragmented storytelling, the film explores motherhood, madness, and the fragile line between love and destruction. Grace’s descent becomes both a personal tragedy and a universal reflection on the pressures of domestic life, making Die My Love a harrowing portrait of mental unraveling.
