A cable-TV weather girl who'll do anything to become a celebrity seduces a high school student and convinces him to kill her go-nowhere husband in this black comedy. Gus Van Sant's (MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO, ELEPHANT) sly satire on America's tabloid mentality is loosely adapted from Joyce Maynard's chronicle of the real-life tale of husband-killer Pamela Smart.
"...[Kidman is] breathtaking....Kudos to Van Sant..." - Recommended
-- Josh Rottenberg
, (Premiere)
"...Prime social satire and outrageous fun....Sparked by a volcanically sexy and richly comic performance..." -- Peter Travers , (Rolling Stone) "...Kidman is like a Roman candle....Directed with comic brightness..." -- Rating: B+ -- Ty Burr , (Entertainment Weekly) "...TO DIE FOR delivers continuous pinpricks of irreverent humor and subversive cultural commentary. Witty, energetic and splendidly acted..." -- Todd McCarthy , (Variety) "...A smart black comedy that skewers America's fatal fascination with television and celebrity....Told with a panache that extends from the opening credits to its closing frames, TO DIE FOR plays its themes for everything they're worth..." -- Kenneth Turan , (Los Angeles Times) "...TO DIE FOR is the kind of movie that's merciless with its characters, and Kidman is superb....The film is filled with perfect character studies..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times) 4 stars out of 5 -- "Like the finest satire, TO DIE FOR is no-prisoners nasty, very funny and both exaggerated and true." -- Chris Roberts , (Uncut) "Nicole Kidman gives a peerless performance....Van Sant's non-linear faux-documentary narrative, with its tabloid-news-style talking heads and sly gags comes up fresh as a daisy after a dozen years." -- Kate Stables , (Sight and Sound) 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The film] showcases some accomplished performances....These combine with some solid direction from Van Sant to result in a juicy little guilty pleasure." -- Nikki Baughan , (Ultimate DVD)
