Docudrama - To Die For review by JD
This is directed in part as a documentary, based (loosely I'm guessing) on a murderess Pamela Stuart, and part as a drama. Nicole Kidman plays the lead who portrays a vacuous narcissistic TV presenter who ultimately kills her husband for wanting her to have children. The problem is that no matter how well Nicole plays this part it is about an empty person. Indeed the better she plays it the less interesting it becomes. To make this film even vaguely watchable the character has to be changed preferable the director van Sant and the screen writer Buck Henry.
