Jennifer Lawrence Proudly Owns ‘Mother!’s Polarized Reception

“It’s certainly not a darling. It never crossed our mind that everyone was going to love it,” Jennifer Lawrence said at The Contenders today of mother!, Darren Aronofsky’s polarizing Paramount picture in which she stars opposite Javier Bardem. “It’s an assault, but I think it’s necessary. I’m proud of us, and I’m proud of Darren for writing and conceiving it.”

Lawrence stars in the film as a woman known only as “Mother,” who finds herself at the hands of a mysterious and increasingly disturbing home invasion. Lawrence knew, taking on the project, that it would be a challenge — but one that she was ready to confront. “It was something I’d never done before,” the Oscar winner said. “It’s what I wanted from working with Darren, to be challenged in different ways. Everything about him is unique, and all the movies he’s made are unique.”

Lawrence’s preparations for the project involved “a three-week rehearsal period in Brooklyn,” though the actress said she found her character just before beginning production. And while the experience of the film is a daunting one, Lawrence said she had to keep herself in a good mental place to consider the endeavor worth the effort. “I had to find a place of staying mentally healthy with this bizarre job in all sorts of ways, and if I had to be sad all day, or feel intense emotional pain all day, I wouldn’t do this,” she said. “I’ve never lost myself [in a character] before this movie. I couldn’t get my brain in order.”

Jennifer is on the cover of February issue of GLAMOUR US!

GLAMOUR.com: Four years ago, Glamour‘s cover featured an up-and-coming Kentucky-born actress named Jennifer Lawrence, “on the cusp,” we wrote, “of being mega-famous.” Well, “mega-famous” doesn’t even begin to describe it: Since then, Lawrence has starred in blockbusters, won an Oscar, and launched a thousand GIFs with her self-deprecating pizza gags and red-carpet pratfalls. She’s also pulled off a hugely difficult Hollywood feat: being both immensely likeable and seriously ballsy, taking stands on issues like fair pay for women. When the Sony hack spilled correspondence that revealed she’d been paid substantially less than her male costars on American Hustle, she jabbed back with an essay in Lena Dunham’s newsletter Lenny, taking aim at the double standards that sometimes pressure women to act nicer, and negotiate less, than their male peers. “I want to fly under the radar,” she says, but “my mouth has just made it impossible.” Well, good!

In this interview with Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive in the February issue of Glamour (see the full story on newsstands today, or download the digital edition here), she weighs in on everything from her style (“slutty power lesbian”) to her outrage at the recent assaults on Planned Parenthood (“it’s an attack on women”). Oh?and Amy Schumer, Adele, and Larry David make appearances. Listen in.

The New York Times: There?s ?Joy? in Working Together Again

Photo Shoots ? Session 8 – The New York Times [link]

THE NEW YORK TIMES – Anticipation is understandably high for David O. Russell?s new film, ?Joy,? about the late-blooming brainiac inventor of the dazzlingly successful Miracle Mop, and later those skinny velvet hangers. Once again, Mr. Russell rounded up his team of A-list players. Jennifer Lawrence plays the titular Joy Mangano, Robert De Niro portrays her father, and Bradley Cooper is an executive at QVC, the television-shopping network where Joy peddled her wares. The film, which opens on Christmas, traces Joy?s decades-long journey, from a precocious girl in the 1960s to a disgruntled housewife in the 1970s to a steely entrepreneur in the 1990s, surmounting financial woes, con artists and her meddlesome Greek chorus of a family.

It?s the group?s third time working together after two critical and box-office smashes: ?Silver Linings Playbook? (2012) earned eight Academy Award nominations, with Ms. Lawrence landing the Oscar for best actress, and ?American Hustle? (2013) received 10 nods (though walked away from the Oscars empty-handed). ?Joy? recently picked up two Golden Globe nominations, one for Ms. Lawrence and another for best comedy.

‘Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co?Stars?’ Essay by Jennifer Lawrence

When Lena first brought up the idea of Lenny to me, I was excited. Excited to speak to Lena, who I think is a genius, and excited to start thinking about what to complain about (that?s not what she pitched me, it?s just what I?m gonna do). When it comes to the subject of feminism, I?ve remained ever-so-slightly quiet. I don?t like joining conversations that feel like they?re ?trending.? I?m even the asshole who didn?t do anything about the ice-bucket challenge ? which was saving lives ? because it started to feel more like a ?trend? than a cause. I should have written a check, but I fucking forgot, okay? I?m not perfect. But with a lot of talk comes change, so I want to be honest and open and, fingers crossed, not piss anyone off.

It?s hard for me to speak about my experience as a working woman because I can safely say my problems aren?t exactly relatable. When the Sony hack happened and I found out how much less I was being paid than the lucky people with dicks, I didn?t get mad at Sony. I got mad at myself. I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early. I didn?t want to keep fighting over millions of dollars that, frankly, due to two franchises, I don?t need. (I told you it wasn?t relatable, don?t hate me).

But if I?m honest with myself, I would be lying if I didn?t say there was an element of wanting to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight. I didn?t want to seem ?difficult? or ?spoiled.? At the time, that seemed like a fine idea, until I saw the payroll on the Internet and realized every man I was working with definitely didn?t worry about being ?difficult? or ?spoiled.? This could be a young-person thing. It could be a personality thing. I?m sure it?s both. But this is an element of my personality that I?ve been working against for years, and based on the statistics, I don?t think I?m the only woman with this issue. Are we socially conditioned to behave this way? We?ve only been able to vote for what, 90 years? I?m seriously asking ? my phone is on the counter and I?m on the couch, so a calculator is obviously out of the question. Could there still be a lingering habit of trying to express our opinions in a certain way that doesn?t ?offend? or ?scare? men?

A few weeks ago at work, I spoke my mind and gave my opinion in a clear and no-bullshit way; no aggression, just blunt. The man I was working with (actually, he was working for me) said, ?Whoa! We?re all on the same team here!? As if I was yelling at him. I was so shocked because nothing that I said was personal, offensive, or, to be honest, wrong. All I hear and see all day are men speaking their opinions, and I give mine in the same exact manner, and you would have thought I had said something offensive.

I?m over trying to find the ?adorable? way to state my opinion and still be likable! Fuck that. I don?t think I?ve ever worked for a man in charge who spent time contemplating what angle he should use to have his voice heard. It?s just heard. Jeremy Renner, Christian Bale, and Bradley Cooper all fought and succeeded in negotiating powerful deals for themselves. If anything, I?m sure they were commended for being fierce and tactical, while I was busy worrying about coming across as a brat and not getting my fair share. Again, this might have NOTHING to do with my vagina, but I wasn?t completely wrong when another leaked Sony email revealed a producer referring to a fellow lead actress in a negotiation as a ?spoiled brat.? For some reason, I just can?t picture someone saying that about a man.
