We talked with director Erin Lee Carr about hew new HBO doc 'I Love You, Now Die'
Later, during Carter’s trial for involuntary manslaughter for her role in Roy’s death, prosecutors would argue that Carter had borrowed fromin order to more convincingly play the role of the “grieving girlfriend,” and that she had convinced Roy to take his own life as a ploy to get attention; the media would make a similar argument in its own reporting on the case, depicting Carter as a sociopath who was inspired by a fictional narrative to convince her own boyfriend to take his own life.
How aware were you of her mental health issues prior to shooting this film, and how much do you buy the defense’s argument that Michelle was just as much at risk and damaged by mental illness as Conrad was? Right, I think that’s a better way of putting it. [The film asks you to] basically figure out all of the arguments and what holds up and what doesn’t. And I think that on both sides, there are areas that work and those that do not.
I thought there was very little shot that Michelle Carter or her family would speak to me. She was in an ongoing legal battle, and she would end up appealing it, so any immediate interview would only serve to create friction. I reached out to Michelle Carter [and her family] at the beginning of the process, I reached out to her in the middle of the process, I reached out to her at the end of the process.
I really think that she told Conrad to take his own life because she thought it would help him. There was this sort of religious ideation that popped up that Conrad was gonna become an angel and that he would be rid of his mental health struggles, that he would finally be at peace.
