And now, as I found out when I sat down with her, she is demonstrably different.

We talked in advance of her new film, Lynne Ramsey's Die, My Love.

She plays a young mother losing her mind in rural Montana.

Lawrence told me her character, Grace, brought up a lot of complicated feelings because of her own struggles with postpartum symptoms.

We started, though, talking about how this project came to her, which involved a very famous director and his very private book club.

Here's my conversation with Jennifer Lawrence.

Thank you so much for joining the interview.

I'm so excited to talk.

Thanks for having me.

I want to talk about your new film because I have a lot of thoughts.

This film was adapted from a book by Ariana Harvitz, and Martin Scorsese was the one who wanted you to play this role after he read the book in his book club.

I know.

When you reached out, what did he say?

Back to the film, as I was watching it, it seemed to me sort of like this scream against the current elevation of domestic life and perfect motherhood as sort of the pinnacle of female achievement.

What is this film about for you?

Because I've read reviews that say that she has postpartum depression.

I've read reviews that say that she, you know, is bipolar.

I've read reviews that say that she has psychosis.

I'm wondering, first of all, does it matter?

And then how you understood what she is experiencing.
