Reviews for To Die For
Top CriticA grotesque black comedy.

As Jimmy, the teen sap who falls hard for Suzanne, Joaquin Phoenix is dead-eyed yet touchingly vulnerable -- a mush-mouthed angel.

Like Roseanne, Gus Van Sant refuses to compromise his trademark smarty-pants assault on storybook America.

If, like me, you find things to admire in all of Gus Van Sant's early films, you may be especially gratified by what he's done with a satirical anti-TV script by Buck Henry.

A smart and wicked delight

It's highly recommended.

A 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.

Gus Van Sant directed this sharp black comedy about the obsession with television and celebrity culture.

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.

Exquisite media satire, as good as "Network" in its way.
