- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2025I remember watching this movie as a kid with my mom and I love it now as much as I loved it then. I think the balance between suspense, mystery and comedy was right on point. It kept you engaged and entertained. Not only that, but you have a cast with Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn! All amazing actors who played their characters well. And like at the end of every story, there was definitely a valuable lesson to learn at the end of this movie. I would recommend everyone to watch this movie and rewatch multiple times. It gets better everytime.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2010Everybody knows that Hollywood is full of people who would sell their soul for youth and beauty, but ... literally? They come pretty close in "Death Becomes Her," a delightfully wicked, twisted black comedy directed by Robert Zemeckis -- the dialogue is wonderfully barbed, the comedy is warped, and the quartet of lead actors give the performances of a lifetime.
Years ago, starlet Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep) stole plastic surgeon Ernest Menville (Bruce Willis) from her longtime rival, dowdy writer Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn). Consumed by hatred for Madeleine, Helen becomes an obese recluse and is eventually locked up in a mental institution.
Present day (and by that, I mean the 1980s): Madeline and Ernest (now a harpyish has-been and an alcoholic undertaker) appear at the signing for Helen's bestselling book -- and are shocked to see that she's now a stunning youthful bombshell. This drives Madeline to seek out the services of Lisle von Rhoman (Isabella Rossellini), a sensual sorceress who sells her a potion that restores her youth. A small warning: "Take care of your body." Easier said than done.
Meanwhile, Helen and Ernest have been plotting to kill her, and a fight leads to Madeleine falling down the stairs and twisting her head 180 degrees. She's not dead... but not really alive either. And the problem is, Helen has had the same treatment -- meaning that when Madeleine gets her revenge, her rival doesn't die either. Is there a way out of this mess, or are the ladies doomed to eternal unlife?
If you like moral messages with your warped comedy, here's "Death Becomes Her's": a short life lived to the fullest is way better than an empty endless one, and shallow people who try to stay eternally young are pathetic. Nobody can argue with that, but that's not the reason people watch this movie. They watch it for the wickedly warped wit and the hilarious trio of actors.
Zemeckis does an absolutely brilliant job with the sort of gothic-screwball plot, which is the perfect mix of ghoulish humor and slapstick. The dialogue is full of witty barbs ("You're a fraud, Helen! You're a walking lie and I can see right through you!"), and hilarious dialogue ("They took her to the morgue." "The morgue? She'll be FURIOUS!"). And some of the scenes here will make you howl your head off, such as the grand finale -- why can't more movies end this brilliantly?
Additionally, Zemeckis brought out the best in all three lead actors. I don't really like Hawn's acting, and tend to consider Willis' mixed -- but Streep and Hawn are deliciously catty, shallow and a little crazed, playing a pair of thoroughly repulsive women. Willis plays Ernest as a depressed mortician who gets increasingly frantic as the story goes on, and Isabella Rossellini is brilliant as the beauty-obsessed sorceress.
"Death Becomes Her" is the sort of movie I wish they would make more often -- a wild, hilarious dark comedy with a twisted streak a mile wide. A must see.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2024A wonderful, dark and funny movie. Streep and Hawn are often over-the-top but that’s what helps it work. Includes one of my favorite movie lines, delivered as only Streep could: Now a warning??!!

FabReviewed in France on January 29, 20165.0 out of 5 stars film culte
Ce film est un chef d'oeuvre sur le cruel monde d'Hollywood où la course à la jeunesse éternelle fait vibrer les celebrités.
Tres drole et efficace, il est dans la lignée de "Retour vers le futur" avec une bonne dose de cynisme en plus. Les acteurs sont formidables, Goldie Hawn en pleine forme drôle et sexy, Meryl Streep dechainée, Bruce Willis tres convaincant en looser et Isabella Rosselini, mysterieuse. L'edition européenne du dvd propose le film en anglais, français et langues européennes. Sur le dvd une photo d'une scene coupée est presente sur la jacquette, mais malheuresement pas de bonus pour découvrir les scenes coupées, même si il y a un reportage "behind the scenes" bien sympatique. DVD a avoir, mais il y aura bientot un Blu-ray qui va sortir, avec esperons-le de vrais bonus!
Comme les protagonistes Hel et Mad sont immortelles je rêve d'une suite à "Death becomes her", peut-être un jour?!...
