To Die For (Closed Caption) (US Version) DVD Region 1

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 Critic), Premiere, 04/01/1996

"...Prime social satire and outrageous fun....Sparked by a volcanically sexy and richly comic performance..." - Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 10/19/1995

"...Kidman is like a Roman candle....Directed with comic brightness..." -- Rating: B+ - Ty, Burr (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 04/19/1996

"...TO DIE FOR delivers continuous pinpricks of irreverent humor and subversive cultural commentary. Witty, energetic and splendidly acted..." - Todd, McCarthy (Film Critic for Variety/ Directed VISIONS OF LIGHT (1992)), Variety, 05/29/1995

"...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 Critic), Los Angeles Times, 09/27/1995

"...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 (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 10/06/1995

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 Critic), Uncut, 11/01/2007

"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 Critic), Sight and Sound, 11/01/2007

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 Critic), Ultimate DVD, 10/01/2007
