To Die For

...[a] crafty, extremely well-timed black comedy on infamy and TV celebrity, based on the novel by Joyce Maynard and centered on a revelatory performance from Nicole Kidman as the pretty princess who is really the wicked witch.

To Die For is the kind of movie that's merciless with its characters, and Kidman is superb at making Suzanne into someone who is not only stupid, vain and egomaniacal (we've seen that before) but also vulnerably human.

...an electric, colorful production that roasts the media and those obsessed by it over an open flame.

TO DIE FOR uses the tabloid-ready Pamela Smart murder case to mount an impudent, satirical attack on America's obsessive culture of celebrity.
