Oscar®-winning actress Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn star with Bruce Willis in Robert Zemeckis' outrageously entertaining comedy about greed, vanity, sex, immortality, life... and death. Isabella Rossellini is a beautiful enchantress who changes their lives - and deaths - forever in this hilarious dark comedy with ground-breaking special effects that the Chicago Tribune calls "diabolically inventive."

Critics Consensus: Hawn and Streep are as fabulous as Death Becomes Her's innovative special effects; Zemeckis' satire, on the other hand, is as hollow as the world it mocks.

Reviews

Eye for Film

Jennie Kermode

Its stars [are] easily able to keep pace with its big dramatic beats, and Zemeckis directs with the confidence essential to comedy. Death Becomes Her doesn't pull any punches. Hollywood deserved it, and so do you.

New York Magazine/Vulture

David Denby

The target of the movie's jokes is female vanity, but since Zemeckis exhibits not a trace of affection for the actresses (or for any of the men, either), one feels humiliated merely watching his crude-spirited wit.

Fat Guys at the Movies

Kevin Carr

This is a 100 percent Hollywood story... It's not relateable to the average person.

Thirty, Flirty + Film

Cate Young

The dizzy, desperate energy of the way she portrays Madeline Ashton is so unlike the staid regality of say, her Julia Childs or Margaret Thatcher.

So iconic!

Common Sense Says

Streep, Hawn comically, murderously defy age and death.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Death Becomes Her is a 1992 macabre comedy about a deadly threesome: two vain female frenemies and the man whose life they jointly ruined. Excessive drinking is shown. So is a potion that brings back youth but also bestows immortality, which, it turns out, isn't as fun as it sounds. Language includes "s--t," "t-ts," and "bitch." A woman has an affair with a younger man, who is cheating on her. Bare buttocks are seen for a few seconds. Impotence is discussed. Violence is played for comedy. A man and woman plot to kill someone. A man chokes a woman, then lets her fall down a long flight of stairs.
