Overview
- The film opened in theaters on November 7 with MUBI distributing after a reported $24 million rights deal.
- Opening‑night polling registered a D+ CinemaScore and early Rotten Tomatoes audience scores were low, even as critics lauded Lawrence’s performance.
- Adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s novel, the story tracks a new mother’s severe psychological unraveling without a clinical diagnosis, using a tight 1.33 frame, jagged edits and disorienting sound to blur reality.
- Martin Scorsese championed the project to Jennifer Lawrence’s company and serves as an executive producer on the film.
- Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and LaKeith Stanfield co‑star, and multiple outlets note Lawrence shot portions of the film while pregnant.
