In TO DIE FOR, Suzanne Stone (the glorious Nicole Kidman) is an ultra-ambitious, wannabe media megastar. This takes a certain type of person without fear, heart, or conscience. Stone puts her soulless tendencies to work, building her TV career by any means necessary.
Suzanne is driven to be in reality what she's always been in her own blank mind. She will be famous no matter what it takes. This includes relentless self-promotion and the murder of her impossibly clueless husband (Matt Dillon).
Ms. Kidman plays Suzanne Stone with gusto as an empty shell with a magnificent paintjob. She slithers and slinks along, manipulating the foolish (including a wonderful trio of lunkheads played by Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck, and Alison Folland) and living only to be noticed.
This is a fantastic black comedy about the hollowness of celebrity and those who achieve it...
