viFeb 1, 2022*lady gaga voice* I don’t believe in the glorification of murder. I do believe in the empowerment of women.

the dedication joaquin phoenix puts into playing a weirdo in everything he's in is admirable

sarah squirmSep 24, 2023i was on a comedown from partying in Vegas for 48 hours and so i kept pausing every 30 minutes to randomly cry about nothing but if i hadn’t been doing that i’m sure i would have probably given this 4 stars.

Jojo is "meh" onTo Die ForI liked the acting from everyone, young Joaquin phoenix did amazing. But I mostly felt bad for the kids, they were manipulated by her, everyone was pretty sick. Feel bad for the husband he just wanted a family. The plot twist at the end was good. Glad the dog didn’t die 6/10🐩
Ant Hardy is "meh" onTo Die ForTo Die For is an intriguing movie that presents its own unique interpretation of a true story. However, it falls short in several aspects. The documentary segment of the film drags on and disrupts the pacing of the events, making it feel unnecessarily drawn out.

I was led to believe Nicole Kidman was going to be more psycho in this role. She's still amazing, but I was expecting a bit darker film. I'm just happy it wasn't a blind buy dud because Criterion 4K looks great as it always does.
Lucas Vachon likedTo Die For7.0 This movie is told in a decently unique style which I found interesting. I found the movie pretty predictable but still entertaining. The characters were not particular compelling though which I felt hurt the story slightly
Eva D likedTo Die ForNicole Kidman was everything ambitious and manipulative/naive. I understand the wanting to make her dream happen but she went to far with manipulating teens who aren’t the smartest and who are neglected to kill her husband.

i just don’t see how a hollywood casting director would put nicole kidman & matt dillon as a married couple 😂 they have like no chemistry but i guess that adds to the point of the movie huh ?
Rachel Gordon likedTo Die ForNicole Kidman did a great job playing a terrible person. I did enjoy how the story was told. I felt like it was unique for the time. I just hated what she did to the kids and her husband.
Payge Eminovski likedTo Die ForI love seeing a film and an actor really does a character. I felt like I knew who Susane stone was. Also, such a great ending and also WTF Danny Elfman doing the music??? soooo insane.

Metacritic
Kidman crafts a characterization of breathtakingly controlled artifice, dead-on timing, dizzyingly precise humor. Her part is a knockout--in every sense of the word. [6 Oct 1995]
Michael Wilmington
Chicago Tribune
Delivers continuous pinpricks of irreverent humor and subversive cultural commentary.
David Rooney
Variety
The murder plot is a cheap turn that says nothing about the nature of Suzanne's ambition. Without Suzanne's media-obsession as its focus, To Die For becomes just another fairly good black comedy.
