Critics Consensus: Smart, funny, and thoroughly well-cast, To Die For takes a sharp - and sadly prescient - stab at dissecting America's obsession with celebrity.

Reviews

New Yorker

Anthony Lane

The film, adapted by Buck Henry from Joyce Maynard’s novel, is smartly structured, but Van Sant’s touch is uncertain: the story’s satirical bite begins to loosen as his camera lingers more and more on the disaffected teen-agers.

Furiously paced and sharply funny, To Die For doesn't try for subtlety; its laughs are delivered with self-consciously heavy hands.

"To Die For" has a crisp professional snap, as if the producer had splashed cold water on Van Sant between takes.

A hilarious satiric treat.

Aside from outstanding performances, the movie is smartly paced and well designed. Most of all, it delivers fascinating characters and provocative ideas with skill and grace.
