Movie Reviews

EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyIn this darker than dark comedy, the actors (Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn) are used as props, part of Bob Zemeckis' nasty, effects-driven satire of our obsession with youth and physical looks.
Newsweek - 8/10 by David AnsenZemeckis has always relished technical challenges; once again he pulls them off with high style.
People Magazine - 8/10 by People Staff[Streep], Hawn and Zemeckis combine to offer a fearsome look at what, under different circumstances, might well have happened to Baby Jane.
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Jay BoyarThis new horror-comedy has to be one of the most heartless mainstream pictures ever made.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Edward GuthmannSporadically very funny indeed, the script features some nicely wicked one-liners, which are well complemented by Zemeckis' sight gags and by performances of great gusto. Far from sophisticated in its satire of narcissism, but enormous fun.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Dave KehrInsistently grotesque, relentlessly misanthropic and spectacularly tasteless, Death Becomes Her isn't a film designed to win the hearts of the mass moviegoing public. But it is diabolically inventive and very, very funny.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Rita KempleyMore cosmetic than cosmic in its approach, it thrives on what it condemns and in its own weird, wonderfully savvy fashion, spanks the liposucked fannies of Hollywood. It's as irresistibly nasty as The War of the Roses and as cheerily Gothic as The Witches of Eastwick.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Eric HendersonDeath Becomes Her is one of the few mainstream comedies that you don’t feel even had to try to be outlandish. It was simply born that way.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Barbara ShulgasserStreep, Hawn comically, murderously, defy age and death.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Jeff MenellThe effects are awesome, if occasionally too gruesome to enjoy. All in all, however, Death Becomes Her is clever, different and dementedly entertaining, while commenting on our unhealthy obsession with youth and beauty.
