Like Roseanne, Gus Van Sant refuses to compromise his trademark smarty-pants assault on storybook America.
Full reviewNicole Kidman delivers a BAFTA-nominated performance in this sly 1995 media thriller from Gus Van Sant (Elephant) as a woman willing to go to dangerous lengths to achieve her goal of being a big television personality. Based on the book by Joyce Maynard.
Suzanne Stone (Kidman) wants to be a world-famous news anchor and she is willing to do anything to get what she wants. What she lacks in intelligence, she makes up for in cold determination and diabolical wiles. As she pursues her goal with relentless focus, she is forced to destroy anything and anyone that may stand in her way, regardless of the ultimate cost or means necessary.
