The result is uneven but often very funny and on-the-mark, with clever observations on our obsession with television, media hype, the influence celebrities have on our culture and even a few bright sight gags.

When focused on Suzanne and her fluffy lap dog, the movie is pretty ferocious, but when it turns to the teenagers she seduces, the tone goes a little soft.

A smart and wicked delight

Top CriticA grotesque black comedy.
04/04/08
The delicately featured Phoenix (yes, River's brother) has an extraordinary, chic-oddball presence.

Top CriticA mean-spirited satire, told in mock-tabloid style, this film features the best performance of Nicole Kidman to date (better than The Hours for which she won an Oscar), as an amoral small-town girl obsessed with becoming a TV star.
01/09/07
Black comedy that charts the exploits of a heartless woman obsessed with becoming a major television star.

If you've hitherto failed to respond to the laid-back oddball appeal of Van Sant's movies, fear not: this is a sharp, consistently funny blend of black comedy and satire on the deleterious effects of television.

Though it may seem less individualistic, less personal than Van Sant's past work, you can feel his sensibility and his talent in every frame.
01/01/00
Top CriticLike Roseanne, Gus Van Sant refuses to compromise his trademark smarty-pants assault on storybook America.

To Die For has its share of truly delicious sequences, and some biting dialogue worth killing for.
01/01/00
Top CriticAn irresistible black comedy and a wicked delight.
