To Die For

USA 1996, 102 minutes
Dir. Gus Van Sant
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Suspense/Crime / Black Comedy

Feat. Nicole Kidman, Matt Dillon, Joaquin Phoenix

Aroview: A deft satire about ambition and the media is fashioned from the sensational true story of a woman who coaxed an impressionable schoolboy into murdering her husband.

As good as his DRUGSTORE COWBOY, dir. Van Sant invigorates the tabloid subject with fresh technique and spot-on performances, not least of which is the 'breakthrough' of Nicole Kidman.

4 stars (Very Good) Suzanne Stone is a small-town housewife who fancies herself the next Barbara Walters or Diane Sawyer. Self-absorbed, amoral & utterly ruthless, she'll stop at nothing, even murder, to reach her goal of becoming a star. Dark humour at its best. ~GenXGirl

2 stars (Good Try) As a black comedy it doesn't quite work but watching younger versions of Joaquin Phoenix, Allison Folland and Casey Affleck adds some interest. ~Tubbs
