The film won Best Picture at the 2019 New York Film Awards, and Best Narrative Short at the 2019 Los Angeles Film Awards. Mor Cohen of the New York Film Awards wrote, "Great performances by all actors, led by [Depp], who were so nuanced and intuitive that it was hard to remember these are fictional characters and not real people". For her performance in My Last Lullaby, Depp won the Best Actress at the 2019 Los Angeles Film Awards. Les Brandt for the Los Angeles Film Awards noted, "Depp displays sonic waves of artistic expression with her eyes and internal work that was so subtle yet massively powerful and at such a young age was an exciting thing to watch."

The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 2, 2019, and was released on Netflix in November 2019. Of her performance, Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote, "[Depp] makes her presence felt, for perhaps the first time ever, as Catherine of Valois, whose delicate worldliness matches Henry's", while Rory O'Connor of The Film Stage called it "an excellent cameo".

In 2021, Depp appeared in the opioid epidemic crime thriller Crisis (originally titled Dreamland) alongside Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer, Evangeline Lilly and Michelle Rodriguez. The film was released in the United States to mixed critical reception on February 26, 2021.

Depp is set to reprise her Tusk and Yoga Hosers role in Moose Jaws. She will also have two upcoming movie projects including A24's erotic drama The Governesses and Robert Eggers’ gothic horror Nosferatu.
