    Oct 6, 1995 · "To Die For" is the kind of movie that's merciless with its characters, and Kidman is superb at making Suzanne into someone who is not only stupid, vain and egomaniacal (we've seen that before) but also vulnerably human.

    Mar 13, 2024 · Nicole Kidman is superb in To Die For. She’s funny, sexy, and at times very scary. Kidman plays this madwoman to the hilt and she’s the backbone of the movie. Apparently the role was first offered to Meg Ryan, who turned it down. Kidman, however, takes it and delivers an exhilarating star turn.
