Fueled by a stellar performance from Rashmika Mandanna, The Girlfriend packs a punch, offering an important story about toxic relationships, self-discovery, and the healing power of female friendship.

Jennifer Lawrence brings vulnerability and intensity as a mother on the verge of a total breakdown opposite Robert Pattinson in ‘Die My Love’.
