"You'll find her long history of playing rather saintly maternal roles in movies, and her gravitation, after becoming a mother in real life, toward one of the most confrontational, feral portrayals of motherhood I've ever seen, in the new Lynne Ramsay movie "Die My Love." Certainly, you'll encounter her famously appealing personality, the story of how it buoyed then paralyzed her star trajectory."
"I was regularly taken aback by just how famous Lawrence is. In San Sebastián, where I went with Lawrence for a screening of her new film, there were posters of her in the windows of random stores, as if she were running for office. In fact, people ask her the sorts of questions that you would ask an elected official, or maybe the Pope."
Jennifer Lawrence transitioned from a long history of saintly maternal roles to a confrontational, feral portrayal of motherhood in Die My Love after becoming a parent. Her famously appealing personality both buoyed and paralyzed her star trajectory during a youth spent as an A-lister from nineteen onward. The 'cool girl' image often overshadowed her onscreen work as a young movie star. Public fame around her reached fevered levels at San Sebastián, with posters, screaming fans, and outstretched hands likened to medieval adulation. People address her with questions comparable to those directed at elected officials or the Pope. She is thirty-five and now reevaluates her early career and youth.
