more under viewed than under rated
never having seen 'To Die For' by first viewing it was clear that this is Kidman's finest performance, she reeks relentless confidence, vanity, and venom. that being said it is also Gus Van Sant's most humorous piece of work.

We viewed this in our Friday Night Film club, and we thought that watching Nicole Kidman in this role is like watching a globe spider spin its fine, delicate, beautiful web, and then watch it sit there and draw in its victims one by one. The nuances and subtleties (or not so subtle) of her character are perfection, whether it's checking her lipstick and smile in the car mirror, or seducing and tormenting young Phoenix in the motel room. Her brutality towards the teens after the fact, especially toward the young girl who adores her, is wrenching. This was the role of a lifetime for Kidman, and I wish she had received more recognition for it. Her range is amazing as this film portrays. I thought the last scene was wonderful: the sister-in-law skating over the ice to the tune of Season's of the Witch!... Brilliant! 5 STAR MOVIE

Was good when I saw it in 1995... I was more of a big fan of Gus van Sant than I was of anybody in the cast and it was a good follow up to his earlier works
