Jennifer Lawrence says that there’s one part of making a movie that never gets easier. It is the wait to see how the audience will react. It has been years since she has been acting in the film industry and has been awarded many times. However, she says the moment a film goes out into the world still brings a fresh wave of anxiety.
Jennifer Lawrence talks about waiting for the audience reaction to her movies
Jennifer Lawrence is currently starring in a new film with Robert Pattinson, called Die My Love. She reveals that the period between finishing a film and hearing from the viewers is “very scary.”
She expressed, “The experience only adds to the dread, because I’ve had so many experiences of working so hard on something, loving something so deeply, and then releasing it to the world, and the world just being like, ‘Boo! Hate you!’ It is so awful. And [yet] somehow, I read a script, I meet with the director, we get on set, we start doing it, and somehow I’m able to forget that this part of the process will happen.”
Adding, she said, “I mean, I’m very blessed and very lucky. But it’s a very scary few months. My husband was so confused because he doesn’t have as much experience with this stuff. So I was telling him about my anxiety, and he was like, ‘But the movie’s incredible.’ And I was like, ‘I know, but that doesn’t matter. People might not get it.’ And he was like, ‘But they’re wrong.’ Like, as if that was supposed to make me feel better.” (via V Magazine)
Lawrence has revealed how Die My Love is an especially intimate project for her. The story is adapted from a novel by Ariana Harwicz. It follows a woman’s breakdown after the birth of a child.
The actress has spoken publicly about her own struggles with postpartum depression. She feels that the movie touches on things that she considers private, and thus, the press tour for the same had felt odd to her.
