Film details, brief synopsis, cast & crew, nicole kidman, thomas gibson, barbara babcock, robert prosky, technical specs.

Seeking revenge, young Irishman Joseph Donnelly wounds his landlord and finds himself on the run from a law that favors the rich. Donnelly finds an unlikely ally in his landlord's daughter Shannon, who agrees to sneak him out of the country. The two immigrants hop a boat and land in Boston, where they struggle to make ends meet and decide to risk everything in the Oklahoma Territory, where a race promises land to anyone with the courage to stake it out.

Rotten Tomatoes® Score

A fun epic spectacle movie they don't make much today

Not a bad movie in spite of its corny premise...

[Howard] has cast two actors -- Cruise and Nicole Kidman -- who simply do not have the scope or abilities to carry an epic. And he does not have a strong enough support team to fill in the gaps.

Far and Away... is the director's attempt to step into the cinematic shoes of directors John Ford and David Lean. And, certainly, he's stepped into something with this sprawling, old-fashioned melodrama.

A little irreverence and some revisionist strokes would have lent some welcome spice to this bland meat-and-potatoes serving of U.S. history.

What is a surprise is that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are almost entirely credible in their roles.

Howard's lifelong ambition to make a film about his Irish ancestry results in a light confection, full of sweeping overhead shots and predictable pulp-fiction intrigue.

This time the concept of TV-for-a-very-big-screen comes out silly.

This is a very well-intentioned film and director Ron Howard does the best he can with it, but it is too long, too slow and too dumb.

Far and Away looks like an epic, but it lacks flavor and texture. It's so predigested there's nothing left to chew on.

More misty-eyed nostalgia for old Oireland as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman emigrate to the New World.

The Irish coastal scenes used the Dingle Peninsula , where, as for David Lean ’s Ryan’s Daughter a village was built specially for the movie. The country estate, where poor country lad Joseph Donnelly ( Cruise ) falls for the daughter of the landowner, is Killruddery House and Gardens , near Bray just south of Dublin .

Seat of the Earl of Meath, the house is still there (its fiery destruction was computer generated), and has since been seen in My Left Foot and TV series The Tudors . The unique 17th Century gardens are open on weekends in April and October, and seven days a week from May to September, and there are guided tours of the house.

Donnelly and Shannon Christie ( Kidman ) flee to the US – but filming continues in the Republic of Ireland .

Far And Away location: Market Street, Dublin

Their arrival in turn-of-the-century ‘Boston’ was filmed on Market Street , behind the Guinness Brewery in Dublin . The bustling street scenes, with the brothel where Donnelly stays, is Temple Lane , near the Ha’penny Bridge . Molly Kay’s brothel, Donnelly ’s lodging, was built on a vacant lot between a pub and a pizza parlour.

Far And Away location: Temple Lane, Dublin

And although the ‘Oklahoma Land Rush’ really is in the US, the spectacular land-grab was shot just outside Billings , Montana .

1992 Directed by Ron Howard

What they needed was a country big enough for their dreams.

A young man leaves Ireland with his landlord's daughter after some trouble with her father, and they dream of owning land at the big giveaway in Oklahoma ca. 1893. When they get to the new land, they find jobs and begin saving money. The man becomes a local barehands boxer, and rides in glory until he is beaten, then his employers steal all the couple's money and they must fight off starvation in the winter, and try to keep their dream of owning land alive. Meanwhile, the woman's parents find out where she has gone and have come to America to find her and take her back.

"TELL ME YOU LIKE MY HAT."

"YOU'RE NOT WEARING A HAT."

"TELL ME YOU LIKE MY HAT SHANNON!"

Review by jonesylovesbeer ★★★★★ 2

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Tom Cruise punches a horse.

Review by Leighton Trent ★★★ 6

" "Tell me you like my hat. " " You're not wearing a hat. " " TELL ME YOU LIKE MY HAT, SHANNON!"

A massive, lavish 90's bullet point look at the Irish colonization of America in the late 1800's that does too much and too little all at once in telling its story... Sounds like almost every Ron Howard film actually.

While the depiction of the Land Run of 1893 is extraordinary in its scale and scope (the tactile qualities of these kinds of scenes are just gone from epic cinema now), the rest is by the Hollywood Book. Thank God Tom Cruise punches a horse and speaks with a uniquely terrible Irish brogue or I might have slumped off to sleep and veritably…

Review by lucy ★★★ 2

i can't get over tom's accent like it's not that bad but it makes me laugh lmaooo

Review by Susan Howson ★★★★

Such a brilliantly overblown piece of 90s delight! I remember loving it as a child, scorning it in my 20s, and now embracing it with both 30-something arms!

Tom Cruise runs in this, although I can't remember it in any Cruise Running Montage. Everyone, update your montages!

Review by Zoe ★★★½

home girl saw tom cruises dick once and immediately decided she had to bring him to america with her

Review by nora ★★

worth watching to hear tom cruise scream "SAY YE LOIKE MOY HAT, SHANNON" in nicole kidman's face in what has to be the WORST irish accent of all time and to see nicole kidman shove a huge pitchfork into tom cruise's leg

Review by Josh Lewis ★★ 3

Tom Cruise and Ron Howard said freedom for Ireland! Kidman and Cruise follow up their Days of Thunder screen romance turned real life marriage with this nearly 2-and-a-half hour 19th-century Irish immigrant historical epic/class drama that is as dull as it is expensive. Kidman is actually quite good as the rebellious wealthy runaway and Cruise's star power has strong-armed roles that were maybe not conventionally suited to him into working before but an impoverished, accented bare-knuckle brawling farmer was maybe a tad bit ambitious. If you can stay awake, it does include a reasonably effective large scale Western recreation of an Oklahoma land run with a rousing John Williams score... Howard wanted to be Spielberg so bad.

Review by jourdain searles 2

this is so… fun?

Nicole Kidman sees her first penis and decides she’s ready to conquer America. I don’t know what the message is but I like the enthusiasm.

Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, great movies, chaz's journal, contributors, far and away.

Now streaming on:

"Far and Away" is a movie that joins astonishing visual splendor with a story so simple-minded it seems intended for adolescents; watching it, I kept being reminded of the "Childhoods of Famous Americans" books, in which plucky young people made their way in life. It's depressing that such a lavish and expensive production, starring an important actor like Tom Cruise , could be devoted to such a shallow story. Do they think audiences have entirely lost their wits? The movie stars Cruise as Joseph, son of a poor working man in Ireland. When his father cannot pay the rent on the land, the family's home is burned down by goons working for the landlord.

Joseph vows vengeance and goes off to murder the man (and is bid a cheerful farewell by the entire village, so little does he conceal his intentions). But when he is discovered lurking in a stable and beaten to within an inch of his life by the sadistic overseer, he's taken into the landlord's mansion for treatment, and there he first becomes attracted to his rebellious, headstrong daughter Shannon, played by Nicole Kidman .

She is tired of being a proper, well-behaved young lady, and yearns to go to America, where she hears that land is being given away. Encountering Joseph by chance a little later in Dublin, she asks him to come along with her, and with nothing to lose, he does.

Their chance encounter is not an accident, but the basic strategy of the entire plot, which is a series of chance encounters. Perhaps that is because the story is so arbitrary and the characters so transparent that nothing that happens can be explained on any level higher than coincidence.

Of course, Joseph and Shannon travel as brother and sister.

It is an ancient convention of such story formulas that the young man and woman (who anyone can see are destined for one another) must go through a period of mutual antagonism before - hello! - they realize they're in love. Landing in Boston, they find lodgings in a brothel, and young Joseph goes to work as a bare-knuckle fighter, gaining some local acclaim. Why a brothel and not a boarding house? The movie is desperate for local color.

Why, you might ask in the same vein, does Joseph become a boxer, instead of some more likely occupation, such as a street-cleaner, a hod-carrier or a longshoreman? Because the movie hasn't a clue who these people are, or why we should find them intrinsically interesting, and so it cobbles together cliches out of old boxing movies to provide a third-hand narrative and manufactured suspense.

Here's the test you can always apply to a boxing scene: Is the most important thing about the fight who wins, or why the hero is boxing? In " Raging Bull " it was the latter - what drove him to such punishment. In "Far and Away," it's who wins - and of course the outcome of every fight is determined entirely by the needs of the story. We even get the exhausted cliche in which the hero is pounded to a pulp before suddenly he gets really angry, and pounds the other guy to a pulp.

Joseph and Shannon eventually light out for the Oklahoma Territory, while meanwhile, in a series of parallel developments much beloved in such classics of my childhood as the Hardy Boys adventures, Shannon's parents and the evil overseer (who considers Shannon his intended) also decide to emigrate to America, whereupon of course they also head for Oklahoma, so that all of the characters can be involved in the same land rush. Give us a break.

Shannon's father, played by that fine actor Robert Prosky , is such a mass of contradictions and character tics that it's hard to see if anybody's at home, especially in the ludicrous Oklahoma scenes. Shannon and Joseph are equally dimwitted characters, completely the victims of the story, denied all personality attributes except those routinely assigned to captives of genre fiction. Do they realize they have nothing intelligent, witty or unexpected to say in the entire movie? Do they care? Does the audience? Maybe not. The movie's payoff is an impressive, beautiful highangle shot of an Oklahoma land rush, with hundreds of horsemen, wagons and runners all tearing through the sagebrush in search of a desirable homesite.

(Shannon's parents cheat and are not caught, in what has become by this time the movie's low-comedy double act.) Of course the land rush looks great. "Far and Away" is the first movie in many years to be photographed in 70mm (rather than being blown up to 70 from 35mm). It looks great. See it, if you must, in a theater with good projection.

If the late David Lean had not died before he could shoot it, his own planned 70mm epic, "Nostromo," might have been arriving in theaters about now. It would have been a reminder of the literate, thoughtful tradition of such Lean films as " Doctor Zhivago " and " Lawrence of Arabia ." Remembering them and looking at this credulous boy's story, I am depressed. Are audiences thought not capable of seeing great pictures and listening to great dialogue at the same time? Are they so impatient they have to be thrown boxing scenes instead of character scenes? Is there any purpose to this movie other than visual spectacle?

The top movies filmed along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way

From hollywood blockbusters to captivating on-screen romances, irishcentral takes you through some of the biggest movies to feature ireland's renowned wild atlantic way..

Star Wars filmed on Skellig Michel off the County Kerry coast.

Weaving through nine counties and three provinces, Ireland's raw yet magnificent Wild Atlantic Way is full of scenic gems and idyllic settings.

The 2,500km stretch of rugged coastline is the world’s longest coastal touring route and its spectacular scenery has provided the backdrop to some of cinema’s most enduring moments.

From Hollywood blockbusters to captivating on-screen romances, we take you through some of the biggest movies to feature Ireland's renowned Wild Atlantic Way .

Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi

It was a real stamp of approval that one of cinema's greatest ever franchises would seek out Skellig Michael Island off the County Kerry coast as a key location.

The strange, isolated landscape lends itself perfectly to the iconic "Star Wars" series, becoming a temple for the Jedi and the location for Luke Skywalker to train the mysterious Rey in the ways of the Force.

Both movie production sets spent significant time filming in Ireland once Lucasfilm realized that the emerald isle was the perfect setting for a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Malin Head in County Donegal, Ireland's most northerly point features in the second installment to represent the planet Ahch-to.

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince

Running five miles long, the towering Cliffs of Moher in County Clare are Ireland’s most visited natural attraction, and for good reason. Their impressive scale and size were used for a pivotal scene featuring the boy wizard and Professor Dumbledore in the penultimate "Harry Potter" film.

Harry and Dumbledore appear standing on a rock that is moving towards a sea cave in the face of a towering cliff. Through the miracle of modern technology, the rock in the sequence is actually Lemon Rock, off the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry over 150 kilometers to the south of the Cliffs of Moher.

The Quiet Man

The 1952 classic featuring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara gave many worldwide audiences a first glimpse of the Emerald Isle.

Among the wild and green countryside, it portrays one of the most quintessential screen romances of all time between Wayne’s Irish-born American character, who travels to Ireland to reclaim his family's farm in Innisfree and O’Hara’s feisty Irish cailín.

The Quiet Man filmed in County Mayo.

Scooping an Oscar for Best Director, John Ford’s depiction of County Mayo’s resplendent scenery and rolling hills have drawn movie lovers to this part of the Bay Coast since its 1952 release.

Wild Atlantic Way named one of the most romantic road trips

Ryan's Daughter

Winner of two academy awards, this David Lean-directed epic romantic drama starred Robert Mitchum and was filmed along the striking Dingle Peninsula, including the famous opening scene on Inch Strand.

The film, set in August 1917 - January 1918, tells the story of a married Irish woman who has an affair with a British officer during World War I , despite moral and political opposition from her nationalist neighbors.

Locals from the town of Dunquin were happily hired as film extras and visitors have flocked to this corner of County Kerry ever since to see just where so many scenes were shot. The same idyllic locations were also used over 30 years later for the Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman film "Far and Away".

The 1990 adaptation from John B. Keane’s acclaimed play, directed by Jim Sheridan and starring the legendary Richard Harris as "Bull" McCabe and John Hurt as rich American, Tom Berenger,

Set in the early 1930s in a very underdeveloped region of rural Ireland, it tells the tale of a rich outsider with visions of building a factory on a site that "Bull" believes to be rightfully his.

When Berenger outbids him for the land, "Bull" then schemes with his emotionally crippled son, Tadgh (Sean Bean), to hold on to the land - his only consolation in a life of loss, toil, and a marriage gone sour.

Harris received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for his performance in this stark and powerful portrayal of conflict and pride.

The coveted land featured in the film can be found in Leenane and Ashleigh in County Galway.

When we talk about the '90s power couples, there are a few that have stuck in our minds through the decades. Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman , Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow, Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford, and of course, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. These iconic couples had people invested in their relationships from the moment they were spotted arm-in-arm on a red carpet all the way to the second news of their breakups broke.

Kidman and Cruise, in particular, caused a great stir when their marriage ended. Everybody remembers the striking image of Kidman as she strolled the streets in apparent glee as the divorce was finalized. Later, the "Big Little Lies" star opened up about the relationship saying, "Our life together was perfect. It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system," she added, "That was a great relationship. I think it ran its course. I was really damaged and not sure whether [love and marriage] was ever going to happen again to me," via InTouch Weekly .

But as we all know, it all worked out in the end. Kidman found love in singer Keith Urban while Cruise went on to marry Katie Holmes and have a child with her before splitting up after six years of matrimony. And while Cruise and Kidman's marriage didn't last, it's safe to say their contributions to cinema will stand the test of time, especially in the movies they did together.

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise starred in three movies together

Unsurprisingly, the two Hollywood stars' paths first crossed on the set of the film, "Days of Thunder." In a 2017 interview with People , Nicole Kidman fondly reminisced about the first time she saw Tom Cruise during an audition for her role in the film, "I remember being so nervous and seeing Tom Cruise drive up in a Porsche [. . .] and he got out of the car and walked through, and I was like 'Ah!' and my jaw dropped." She also added that she was intimidated auditioning in front of the movie's executives and Cruise and believed she wouldn't get the part. But she was called and offered the role on the very same day.

Although Kidman had previously gained notoriety from working in the Australian thriller, "Dead Calm," and several other Australian films, she broke through the American film scene with "Days of Thunder." At the time of filming, Kidman was 22, while Cruise was 28 and in the process of getting a divorce from his first wife, Mimi Rogers. In a 1995 interview with Playboy , Rogers would share that the marriage primarily ended due to Cruise's desire to become a monk, which didn't happen. Months before the film's release in 1990, the divorce was finalized and Kidman and Cruise went public shortly after. The actors wed in a private ceremony on Christmas Eve that same year.

Eyes Wide Shut was one of their most notable projects

In 1992, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise appeared in their first film as a married couple, "Far and Away." And while the film did relatively well, their big break as an iconic Hollywood couple would happen in 1999 with Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." The official trailer for the film featured several explicit scenes, including some steamy kisses shared between the real-life couple.

Unsurprisingly, the couple's chemistry sizzled in the erotic mystery. In 1995, the couple admitted to Vanity Fair that their initial attraction was sexual. Kidman gushed, "I thought he was the sexiest man I'd ever seen in my life." And Cruise also said something similar, "Instant lust, that's what I felt," he added, "I thought she was amazingly sexy and stunning. It grew into love and respect."

Due to the themes of infidelity in the movie and their striking performances, many believed that Kidman and Cruise were tapping into real-life emotions. But Kidman denied these rumors in a 2020 interview with The New York Times , "We were happily married through that," she added, "We would go go-kart racing after those scenes. We'd rent out a place and go racing at 3 in the morning." Sadly, the couple's divorce was finalized in 2001 after 11 years of marriage. Although the pair has been vague about what went down behind the scenes, many have speculated that this might be why they really got divorced .

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Morgan Freeman spoke the words, but pretty much everyone who took the stage at the presentation of the AFI Life Achievement Award agreed: “ Nicole Kidman . She makes movies better.”

The line came in a video parody of Kidman’s AMC Theatres “we make movies better” ad that opened the Saturday night ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. It got huge laughs from the crowd of multigenerational A-listers there to honor the 40-year career of the 56-year-old Australian that has included roles in “Moulin Rouge,” “Eyes Wide Shut” and an Oscar-winning turn in “The Hours.”

Meryl Streep , Kidman’s “The Hours” co-star who presented to Streep the Life Achievement Award that she won herself in 2004, got laughs nearly as big when, in a mock-boastful voice, she described the hardest part of being “incessantly called the greatest actress of my generation.”

It’s when you come up against someone else who is “really, really, really, really, really, really great” and you realize they did things you couldn’t do, as happened with Kidman the first day they worked together on the HBO series “Big Little Lies,” Streep said.

Streep and their “Big Little Lies” co-star Reese Witherspoon both did spot-on, Australian-accented impressions of Kidman that had the audience in stitches.

Streep also drew tears from Kidman when describing what she believed motivated her.

“People call it bravery when an actress bares all and leaps off into the unknown and she dives deep into the darker parts of what it is to be a human being,” Streep said. “But I don’t think it’s bravery. I think it’s love. I think she just loves it.”

Kidman teared up for the first time in the evening when her husband and fellow Australian, singer Keith Urban, said she showed him “what love in action really looks like” when his substance abuse problems emerged almost immediately after they wed in 2006.

“Four months into our marriage, I’m in rehab for three months,” Urban said, looking at Kidman where she sat on a dais with their two daughters and other family. “Nic pushed through every negative voice, I’m sure even some of her own, and she chose love. And here we are 18 years later.”

Kidman said the night was the first time she allowed their teenage daughters to join her on a red carpet. She also has two children with her first husband, Tom Cruise.

She accepted the AFI award in the same venue where she accepted her Oscar in 2003 for playing Virginia Woolf in “The Hours.”

She thanked by name every director she has worked with, including Stanley Kubrick, Jane Campion, Baz Luhrmann, Sofia Coppola, Yorgos Lanthimos, Sydney Pollack and Lars von Trier.

“It is a privilege to make films. And glorious to have made films and television with these storytellers who allowed me to run wild and be free and play all of these unconventional women,” Kidman said, wearing a floor-length, glittering-gold gown. “Thank you for making me better at my craft and giving me a place, however temporary, in this world.”

It was announced back in November of 2022 that Kidman would receive the award, first handed out in 1973, whose previous winners include Orson Welles, Bette Davis, Alfred Hitchcock, Gene Kelly, Sidney Poitier, Barbara Streisand, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington and Julie Andrews.

The ceremony originally was scheduled for June of 2023, but delayed because of Hollywood’s strikes . It will air on TNT on June 17.

Kidman also was nominated for Academy Awards for “Moulin Rouge,” “Rabbit Hole,” “Lion,” and “Being the Ricardos,” whose director, Aaron Sorkin, also sang her praises at the ceremony.

Others honoring her included Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Zoe Saldana and Mike Myers, who came on stage in disguise in one of the eerie orgy masks from “Eyes Wide Shut.”

Kidman began her career as a teen in Australia in films including “Bush Christmas” and “BMX Bandits.” Naomi Watts, a friend from those days, described meeting Kidman when both had to sit in a waiting room in bathing suits for two hours at an audition. Aussies Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman and Cate Blanchett all gave video tributes to the first from their country to win the award.

Kidman said in a video played at the ceremony that her appearance in the 1989 thriller “Dead Calm” brought her to the attention of, among others, Cruise, the only time his name was spoken Saturday night.

She had her breakthrough Hollywood role alongside him in 1990’s “Days of Thunder” — they would marry the same year — and also starred together in 1992’s “Far and Away” and in 1999 in Kubrick’s final film, “Eyes Wide Shut.”

She divorced Cruise in 2001, but her stardom only grew. Some of her biggest roles, and her Oscar, were still to come.

The role most often cited as a favorite during the awards show Saturday night was her musical turn in Luhrmann’s 2001 “Moulin Rouge.”

Freeman, the 2011 AFI honoree, in his in-person presentation that followed the video spoof, serenaded Kidman with the modified Elton John lines she sings in the film: “How wonderful life is, now you’re in the world.”

Nicole Kidman, who 'makes movies better,' gets AFI Life Achievement Award

Nicole Kidman won the AFI Life Achievement Award with a film career that Meryl Streep said is all about love

LOS ANGELES -- LOS ANGELES (AP) — Morgan Freeman spoke the words, but pretty much everyone who took the stage at the presentation of the AFI Life Achievement Award agreed: “ Nicole Kidman. She makes movies better.”

Nicole Kidman’s 28 Best Film and TV Performances, Ranked

Nicole Kidman is the rare actress in the 21st century who, like the stars of Hollywood’s golden years, doesn’t disappear into roles so much as elevate films by her mere presence.

She’s certainly swung big at mainstream blockbusters (think: the “Aquaman” films) that might feel out of her step with her character-driven work elsewhere (like most of the films on the list that follows). But that’s because the Australian icon is unafraid of any role, whether stripping down her post-Oscar, A-lister veneer to film Lars von Trier’s Brechtian “Dogville” in Sweden, slipping into a bathtub with the 10-year-old possible reincarnation of her dead husband in Jonathan Glazer’s “Birth,” or, yes, donning a fake nose to play a suicidal Virginia Woolf for her Oscar-winning turn in “The Hours.”

On April 27 in Los Angeles, Nicole Kidman will receive the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award , joining the ranks of Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, Julie Andrews, Diane Keaton, Morgan Freeman, Shirley MacLaine, Alfred Hitchcock, and Mike Nichols. She’s the first Australian to take the prestigious honor, and certainly one of the youngest recipients. But Kidman has beyond proven herself in recent years with a steady stream of projects on screens big and small. And don’t forget her beloved AMC ads , which have now made her into a theater-championing icon.

Surely, the five-time Oscar nominee (most recently as Lucille Ball in “Being the Ricardos”) has one of the most tireless work ethics of any screen star. She most recently wowed on Amazon Prime Video with her performance as a wealthy American expatriate in Hong Kong looking for her missing son in “Expats.” She’s soon back on screens in A24’s “Babygirl” as a corporate CEO embroiled in an affair with a much younger charge. And she has at least four more movies in post-production right now, often shepherding them through her production company Blossom Films. Kidman figured out the only way to get women’s roles right onscreen was to make them for herself, and set a standard for up-and-comers after her.

Below, in honor of Kidman’s upcoming AFI tribute, IndieWire picks 28 (28! and that hardly scratches the surface!) of her best film and TV roles and ranks them.

Samantha Bergeson, Christian Blauvelt, Wilson Chapman, Kate Erbland, Jim Hemphill, Mark Peikert, Sarah Shachat, Erin Strecker, and Ben Travers contributed to this story.

28. ‘The Stepford Wives’ (2004)

Frank Oz’s black comedy remake of the classic thriller is a mess, but the performances are so fun you can almost forgive its confused tone (not to mention the twist on the original’s twist is a great way to keep things fresh). A TV exec recovering from a nervous breakdown, Kidman and her family head to the suburbs for a fresh start (and maybe a more colorful wardrobe, her husband hopes), where Kidman is quickly alarmed by the eerily cheerful wives of Stepford. And though Kidman gravitates towards more serious projects, she finds the comedy in Joanna’s severe black bob and among the Lily Pulitzer prints in Connecticut, delivering zingers perfectly balanced on the knife’s edge of sincerity and spoof. The movie was a critical misfire (and a troubled production), so we have been deprived of more Kidman comedy performances. What a shame. —MP

27. ‘Being the Ricardos’ (2021)

No, Nicole Kidman is not a famously funny person — though she has excelled in comedic roles — so yes, her casting as Lucille Ball in Aaron Sorkin’s talky drama raised eyebrows and elicited that classic Lucy, ‘Ughhh!’ But then, Ball herself never claimed to be funny. ‘What I am is brave,’ she said, and Kidman runs with that theory, lowering her voice to a pack-a-day growl and giving audiences the behind-the-scenes Ball: a tough-as-nails powerhouse who had to practice every punchline in a mirror but understood the precise nature of physical comedy. What Ball did was an acquired skill, and Kidman artfully reveals the force of will that made it happen, in the process revealing (and reveling) in what it takes to create a legacy. —MP

26. ‘Batman Forever’ (1995)

While the ‘Batman’ franchise’s leading ladies have a tendency to swing wildly between meek good girls and wild women gone very bad, Kidman’s first foray into the superhero milieu offered her something different than the series’ history might suggest. In Joel Schumacher’s 1995 ‘Batman Forever,’ Kidman spread her wings as a newly created character — no superhero backstory here — who offers both sex appeal and psychoanalyst smarts.

No, Dr. Chase Meridian might not seem like the traditional Kidman role. Frankly, it seems easier to imagine her playing Catwoman and going the split-persona route of Halle Berry or Michelle Pfeiffer. But Kidman herself has long been clear about what was thrilling about playing the good doctor. It’s that she’s a damsel in distress, really, someone with plenty of brains and not a whole lot of sense, the kind of part she hadn’t previously taken on. In 1995, this was new for her, and her interest in playing something unexpected shines through in the role, complete with a fresh curiosity that sparks up a seemingly predictable part. —KE

25. ‘Destroyer’ (2018)

The hard-nosed LA detective with battle scars and emotional wounds to spare? We know that part, we know that movie, but we don’t know it quite like Kidman in Karyn Kusama’s fascinating 2018 neo-noir. Much has been made about the stripped-down quality of Kidman’s physical look in the film. As Detective Erin Bell, she’s all shapeless clothes, her trademark red tresses turned gray and short, but it’s the spareness of her emotional landscape that really stands out.

It’s the kind of role that we’re used to seeing men portray, and so Kidman’s spin on the ‘strong female character’ already scans as something different, but as she slips further into Erin’s darkness, as Kusama slowly reveals more and more about how she landed there, the actress touches something far beyond ‘unexpected casting.’ It’s gritty and hard-nosed and scary and decidedly different, and even as Erin doesn’t root for herself, we can’t help but root for Kidman. —KE

24. ‘The Northman’ (2022)

There are long stretches where it seems like the biggest mystery of ‘The Northman’ is why Nicole Kidman is in it. She has a regal mein as Queen Gunrun, no doubt, but Robert Eggers’ Vikingified riff on Hamlet is much more concerned with the violence and vengeance that Alexander Skarsgard’s Amleth wants to wreak on his feckless uncle Fjolnir (Claes Bang). But then the film gives her a monologue. It would be highly dishonorable to spoil what she says, or to whom, but it’s a scene so meaty, you can tell it sustained her for the rest of the movie’s run. It’s almost worth the entirety of ‘The Northman’ on its own, too. When Kidman gets to flex her intelligence, her sharpness, then her dialogue cuts deeper than any sword to the gut. — SS

23. ‘Far and Away’ (1992)

The kind of sweeping romantic epic they just don’t make these days, this is a film in which the delicate rules behind literal land-grabbing and the impact of the Great Potato Famine play major parts in understanding the story. It’s also the kind Kidman should have made dozens of.

In the 1992 Ron Howard epic, Kidman is spoiled little rich girl Shannon Christie (early ‘Titanic’ vibes), who opts to leave her wealthy Irish family (and handsome, if boring suitor; again, early ‘Titanic’ vibes) to travel to land rush era America to make her own way. She’s joined by a scrappy local farmer (Tom Cruise) who also wants his own life, land, and, hell — his own Shannon, too.

Howard drags his stars through all sorts of waypoints of pioneer life — the lush but cursed homeland, the dirty and mean big city, amber waves of grain vistas, the whole lot of it. Kidman finds a way to bring nuance to what is essentially a Grown-Up American Girl Doll role. Shannon finds herself through rough circumstances and hard luck, and Kidman’s early shine does a whole hell of a lot to sell this particular brand of American dream. —KE

22. ‘The Portrait of a Lady’ (1996)

PORTRAIT OF A LADY, Nicole Kidman, 1996. © Gramercy Pictures/courtesy Everett Collection

Nicole Kidman steps into the worlds of Henry James and Jane Campion for the New Zealand director’s surreal and fever-dreaming interpretation of the 1880 novel. Kidman makes Isabel Archer, an American society woman who comes into great fortune only to debase herself in a series of bad conquests, an idealist with heroine qualities rather than a victim of circumstance. Heretofore in 1996 not always an actress who radiated hungry sexuality, Kidman brings both vulnerability and a fierce intelligence to the Jamesian lead. (Why doesn’t she just dump John Malkovich’s flaneur Gilbert Osmond? Kidman keeps you guessing.)

‘The Portrait of a Lady’ is an early showcase for Kidman’s penchant for searching, feminist women defying tradition, even if the movie is little remembered in either the actress’ or Campion’s filmographies. —RL

21. ‘Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus’ (2006)

Nicole Kidman took a few hairpin career turns in the mid-aughts, from the middling remake of ‘Bewitched’ to god-awful horror retread ‘The Invasion,’ plus career-topping performances in movies like ‘Margot at the Wedding’ and even ‘The Stepford Wives’ (another remake). After winning the Oscar for Best Actress for ‘The Hours’ and not bringing in quite as many awards as one would hope for Anthony Minghella’s ‘Cold Mountain,’ Kidman went for broke in indies.

Steven Shainberg’s ‘Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus’ is one such example, a bizarre and creepy surreal, well, imagining of the life of photographer Arbus. As Arbus was known as a chronicler of outsiders, the film finds Kidman digging deep into the midcentury icon’s craft, and befriending the social castaways of 1950s New York City. That includes a chronically hirsute neighbor played by Robert Downey Jr. The movie’s languid pacing and disturbing imagery were true to her subject, and Kidman was game to take another woman on the sidelines, looking beneath the surface of typical biography for something deeper and stranger. —RL

20. ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’ (2017)

In a film as consumed with masculine delusion as ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer,’ it’s easy to see Kidman fall by the wayside as just the wife of Colin Farrell’s cursed cardiac surgeon, who is forced by the mysterious Martin (a terrifying Barry Keoghan) to choose one of his family members as a sacrifice. But Kidman is a shrewd performer, and she makes Anna a lot more interesting. She plays the part as warm and protective on the surface, but drops the polite veneer to reveal a deeply selfish streak as the film continues and the situation grows dire. It’s a chilly, remote performance, fitting for playing a woman willing to see one of her children die if it means she can live.

Opposite Farrell, she finds an absorbing anti-chemistry of sorts, displayed best in an excruciating sex scene that ranks among the most awkward in cinematic history. In the TV star stage of her career, Kidman has excelled at playing frazzled women in domestic distress; ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’ twists that familiar type into far more complicated, unsympathetic directions. — WC

19. ‘Practical Magic’ (1998)

Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock as two twisted sisters at their respective ‘90s primes? It’s not the stuff of magic, but rather just divine casting. Kidman plays somewhat against type as a drug-addled, bad boy lover who reluctantly returns to her hometown after accidentally killing her abusive boyfriend with the help of her sister (Bullock). Oh, and both of them are witches who dabble in black magic, poison, exorcisms, and love spells. Kidman and Bullock dancing to ‘put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up’ while getting blasted on margaritas just might be one of the most iconic film scenes ever, and leaves this not quite rom-com among Kidman’s best roles. It’s Kidman at her most fun, loose, and sexy — and with some of her best hair ever. No small feat given the pantheon of Kidman hair looks. — SB

18. ‘Top of the Lake: China Girl’ (2017)

There is a glaring absence at the center of Jane Campion’s ‘Top of the Lake: China Girl,’ and it only grows as each of the six episodes plays out. Call it connection, recognition, or identity, what’s missing for each of the main characters in ‘China Girl’ edges further away as the story twists and turns — like a knife pressed against a fraying cord. For Robin (Elisabeth Moss), Pyke (Ewen Leslie), and Julia (Nicole Kidman), they’re clinging to the love between a parent and a child. All that matters is the title of ‘mom’ or ‘dad,’ which — for the latter two adopted parents and Moss’ birth mother — is a rank as cherished as it is fragile.

Knowing the power it bestows, Mary (Alice Englert) refuses to refer to Julia as her mother. Pyke and Julia’s impending divorce puts added strain on their already rebellious, risk-inclined daughter, and her increasingly dangerous acts of defiance send Kidman’s character tumbling, untethered, into an emptier and emptier void. Watching Julia’s inability to parent her child is both frustrating and convincing because her opposition is equal parts vehement and empty. Julia talks a good game. As an academic, she can counter the absurd provocations made by Mary’s cartoonishly evil older boyfriend, but language and reason have no impact on him. She’s not engaged in a war of words, where she’s comfortable, but a nasty, lawless cage match for the soul of her daughter, and she doesn’t realize it until it’s much, much too late.

By the final episode of ‘China Girl,’ it physically hurts to watch Julia’s persistent passivity. To Julia, if Mary refuses to recognize her own mother — what she’s done for her, how much she cares for her —then Julia may as well not exist. (A key scene in the finale finds a way to literalize these ideas in a truly heartbreaking confrontation.) Kidman, though, very much does exist, and she leaves an indelible mark on the series despite her character’s shrinking stature, threading the needle between disappearing entirely and stealing the spotlight. As the cast’s resident movie star, she could easily ham it up to convey her character’s struggle more dramatically — screaming instead of speaking, gesticulating rather than persisting — but such showboating wouldn’t serve Julia’s journey. She is a mother adrift, not a woman waiting for her big moment. That Kidman can inhabit such a minimal space, embodying one more powerless parent in an ensemble filled with them, is a testament to her professionalism as much as her talent. She turns absence into abundance, once again earning any recognition that comes her way. — BT

17. ‘The Beguiled’ (2017)

THE BEGUILED, from left: Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, 2017. ph: Ben Rothstein/ © Focus Features /Courtesy Everett Collection

‘The Beguiled’ is a war story, but not necessarily about the American Civil War. It’s a war for the attention and attraction of a wounded Union soldier (Colin Farrell) who finds himself, wounded, at a mostly abandoned girls school in Virginia, and it puts Nicole Kidman in her general era. As the headmistress Miss Farnsworth, everything she does — from a look, a little French phrase, the way she adjusts her posture — is all about conveying power and control to the other women and girls; the fact that all this is legible to the audience underneath a veneer of politeness is a better testament to how well she understands this Southern matron than even the slight twang of her accent. She goes much, much further than politeness as the movie unfolds, of course, but Kidman’s performance is so complete from the jump that she makes Miss Farnsworth’s choices both surprising and inevitable. — SS

16. ‘Rabbit Hole’ (2010)

RABBIT HOLE, Nicole Kidman, 2010. ph: Jojo Whilden/©Lionsgate/Courtesy Everett Collection

John Cameron Mitchell’s adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play ‘Rabbit Hole’ lacks the wrenching immediacy of David Lindsay-Abaire’s original stage production, a character study of a grieving couple whose marriage frays following the death of their young son. Expanding the chamber drama to incorporate more characters and the world outside the couple’s house, the film saps the powder keg emotional intensity present on the page, resulting in a tearjerker that doesn’t quite ever provoke your tears.

When the film works, it works because of Kidman’s committed performance as Becca, the mother of the lost child struggling through her grief. Even in the pantheon of Kidman’s roles, Becca stands out as a particularly manic character, prone to acidic outbursts and frantic changes in emotional register. The film’s premise invites a certain level of melodrama, and it is to Kidman’s credit that it never goes too far in that direction. Even when Becca is at her most unlikable, you feel the despair she carries weighing down on her like an anchor. — WC

15. ‘Expats’ (2023)

EXPATS, Nicole Kidman, Mainland', (Season 1, ep. 104, aired Feb. 9, 2024). photo: Glen Wilson / ©Amazon / Courtesy Everett Collection

When a project lands a star of Kidman’s stature, it’s typically a good idea to take advantage, and that’s exactly what Lulu Wang does in her extraordinary original series, ‘Expats.’ From the jump, Kidman serves as a turning point for a story of grief, identity, and indecision. Using her well-deserved star turn to lay out her character’s essential framework, Kidman plays an American mother living abroad in Hong Kong who loses a child. Struggling to move forward without knowing if she should — is her son dead or alive? lost or abducted? — Margaret is a woman torn in two. Should she keep searching or mourn and move on? Should she forgive those involved or hold them, and everyone else, accountable? Should she down on her instincts or give in to the advice of her loved ones? Ultimately, these questions boil down to one: Should she stay or go?

Kidman gets a number of scenes filled with big, overwhelming emotions. Her ability to channel pain through fury is staggering, as is her emotional clarity in moments where conflict stirs varied reactions. (Her waiting room quarrel with Margaret’s husband Clarke, played by Brian Tee, is incredible.) But ‘Expats’ really takes off in quieter, everyday interactions. It’s the way she leaves an apartment, buys groceries, and goes about her life that gets under your skin; that makes you feel empathy not just for Margaret’s situation, but for Margaret herself (who isn’t always the most likeable person). Kidman understands this at an innate level, and her measured, acute depiction of an impossible-to-imagine situation grounds her character and makes the show around her all the more affecting. Kidman has movie star magnitude and charisma, to be sure, but seeing those qualities stripped away creates a thrilling new performance here. — BT

14. ‘Dead Calm’ (1989)

DEAD CALM, Nicole Kidman, 1989, ©Warner Bros./courtesy Everett

Kidman was 19 when the camera started rolling on Phillip Noyce’s high seas thriller about a couple dealing with grief over the death of their child by embarking on a long Pacific Ocean voyage alone on their yacht. Even then she was playing a member of the ultra rich! Her Rae is someone whose tragedy has made her numb to life, and she certainly doesn’t need another trauma — but the sheer terror of this voyage arguably jolts her back into feeling alive again. Her husband (Sam Neill) rescues the lone survivor, played by Billy Zane, of a derelict pleasure craft drifting on the ocean.

Zane’s character is psychotic, of course, and he quickly tries to get rid of the husband so he can be all alone with Rae. ‘What about those people?’ Rae asks the castaway about his crewmates’ fate. ‘Thayre wasn’t any food poisoning, was thayre?!’ Oh no, they definitely did not die because of spoiled provisions, Rae. Even with her then shrimp-on-the-barbie Aussie accent and playing a part that’s meant to assay merely various degrees of ‘being menaced,’ Kidman more than holds her own with a Zane playing derangement dialed up to 11. George Miller was a producer on ‘Dead Calm’ and it’s easy to see some proto-Furiosa in the way that Rae fights back. —CB

13. ‘Stoker’ (2013)

‘I can’t wait to watch life tear you apart,’ widowed mother Evelyn (Kidman) tells daughter India (Mia Wasikowska). That’s not in the cards, but you understand why India might be a little more willing to run wild with her newly discovered uncle (Matthew Goode) in the wake of her father’s death. Kidman is a mega-watt star, but she proves adept at waltzing away with an entire movie with a supporting role here, delivering an icy mother-from-hell for the ages, combining viciousness with off-kilter flirtation that adds a note of bleak comedy to director Park-chan Wook’s English-language debut. Inspired by ‘Shadow of a Doubt,’ ‘Stoker’ front-loads even more psychosexual intrigue to its story. —MP

12. ‘The Hours’ (2002)

THE HOURS, Nicole Kidman, 2002, (c) Paramount/courtesy Everett Collection

Anyone with a working knowledge of what types of roles win people Academy Awards would not be shocked that Kidman’s sole Oscar win for Best Actress comes from playing a historical figure. But that line of thinking discounts the work she put into making her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry’s domestic drama about three generations of women’s relationship to the novel ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ so singular.

Here was the final proving ground that the Australian actress was a utility to any director trying to execute a vision that may seem like too big of a swing on paper. Her immersion into Woolf’s world, demonstrating a creative force that pushed through tragic circumstances, is worthy of more consideration than ‘by a nose.’ — MJ

11. ‘Big Little Lies’ (2017)

A new subgenre of rich, complicated, occasionally boozing ladies with a mysterious past made its way to prestige TV with ‘Big Little Lies,’ based on the Liane Moriarty bestseller about a group of moms and the secrets they keep. Kidman is excellent as the buttoned up Celeste Wright who begins to spiral (another Kidman specialty) as she contemplate leaving her abusive husband (Alexander Skarsgard).

As written by David E. Kelley and directed by Jean-Marc Vallée in the superior first season, the TV role allowed Kidman the freedom to explore a character beyond the scope of a two-hour movie. It’s a well she’s now returned to several times over the years, but none surpass this purposefully chilly creation, for which she won an Emmy in 2017. — ES

10. ‘Malice’ (1993)

MALICE, Nicole Kidman, 1993, (c) Columbia/courtesy Everett Collection

The less you know about Harold Becker’s wonderfully fucked-up 1993 neo-noir ‘Malice,’ the better. Still, it’s fair to note that what makes Kidman — starring here alongside Alec Baldwin and Bill Pullman in an early Aaron Sorkin script chock-a-block with Sorkin-isms — so good is what always makes her good. To wit, that’s her ability to embody seemingly disparate emotions and motivations in one wicked performance.

While other early examples — like ‘Far and Away’ and ‘Days of Thunder’ — rely on audiences liking Kidman’s characters and feeling warm to them, in Becker’s film, Kidman puts that idea on its head. Yes, we like Kidman’s charming newlywed Tracy, and damn, do we feel for her when she endures a medical emergency that seems to threaten her idyllic life with sweet husband Andy (Pullman). But… that’s not all there is to it, and the joy and pleasure of the film and Kidman’s work within it is watching all of that collapse in truly unexpected ways. — KE

9. ‘Margot at the Wedding’ (2007)

MARGOT AT THE WEDDING, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, 2007. ©Paramount Classics/courtesy Everett Collection

Noah Baumbach’s 2007 dramedy is one of his most caustic, and Kidman is at her most fearless in the title role — her character, a neurotic, prickly, judgmental fiction author, seems intentionally calculated to offend. Kidman’s genius lies in her ability to avoid sanding off any of the character’s rough edges while still letting the humanity push through to the surface; as Kidman herself noted at the time of the film’s release, ‘…the spikiness and the guardedness and the anger is actually a manifestation of her need to protect herself. She’s not in a safe place, really, because her sister doesn’t know how to take care of her, and she doesn’t know how to take care of her sister… They feel like they should be very, very close, but they actually do not bring out the best in each other.’ All of this and more comes across in Kidman’s extraordinarily subtle performance, one of her most nastily amusing and profoundly moving. — JH

8. ‘Days of Thunder’ (1990)

DAYS OF THUNDER, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, 1990

Kidman’s international breakout remains a high point of her early career, a high-octane banger that combines visceral thrills and only-in-the-movies touches (who in their right mind wears a white blazer to a NASCAR race?) and remains an incredible ode to her sex appeal. To put it mildly, Tony Scott’s ‘Days of Thunder’ rules (and is also the only film to bear the wonderous twinned screenwriting credits of ‘Robert Towne and Tom Cruise’), but much of that is due to Kidman’s uncanny ability to fuse steely reserve with wild abandon.

Kidman plays Dr. Claire Lewicki, a neurosurgeon who finds herself entangled with the rowdy high-jinks of both newbie driver Cole Trickle (Cruise) and his literally nutso rival Rowdy (Michael Rooker). In her role, Kidman is tasked with channeling both big ‘you’re all a bunch of boys!’ energy (‘and yerrrr scarrrrred!’) and a deep desire for Cole and his let’s-go-fast nature. The result? An internal battle that’s hot and wild and absolutely electric to watch. —KE

7. ‘To Die For’ (1995)

After years of turning in fine work in thrillers (‘Dead Calm,’ ‘Malice’) dramas (‘Billy Bathgate’) and epic action films (‘Days of Thunder,’ ‘Far and Away’), Nicole Kidman proved she could also be hilarious in this wickedly funny media satire about a small town reporter whose ruthless ambition leads to murder. Using a Joyce Maynard novel (which was itself based on a true event) as source material, screenwriter Buck Henry and director Gus Van Sant gave Kidman her most layered and original character to date here, and like the character she plays she took the opportunity and ran with it.

Her performance is pitch-perfect: heightened but believable, superficially sweet and amiable with a constant undercurrent of savagery, and filled with impulses both self-aware and self-destructive. Much of her story is told via her own narration in a series of close-ups directed toward the camera, and in these moments Kidman and her character have nowhere to hide — we see every thought, feeling, and decision coming across with cruel and gleeful precision. —JH

6. ‘The Paperboy’ (2012)

THE PAPERBOY, Nicole Kidman, 2012. ph: Anne Marie Fox/©Millennium Entertainment/Courtesy Everett Collection

For some, Lee Daniels’ sweaty late-‘60s grindhouse absurdity ‘The Paperboy’ is only so bad it’s good. But Daniels’ brazenly serious commitment to such silly pulp material — including Matthew McConaughey as a swaggering reporter back in his hometown to cover a death-row inmate (John Cusack) — warrants serious attention. At the time this film rolled around at Cannes 2012, Nicole Kidman was delightfully the most fun she had been in years as vamping vixen Charlotte Bless, determined to clear her husband’s (Cusack) name.

She pees on Zac Efron! She humps a chair during a prison meeting while eye-fucking Cusack! She’s out of control, sex oozing out of her, her blonde hair and plumped limps all but siren-calling the camera. Kidman is wrongly not acclaimed enough as a comic actress, and in ‘The Paperboy,’ she lets loose in a way she hadn’t before or hasn’t since. —RL

5. ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ (1999)

Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ is the anatomy of the marriage of Dr. Bill (Tom Cruise) and Alice Hartford (Nicole Kidman) and, in hindsight, also the anatomy of the marriage between Cruise and Kidman. They spent over 15 months shooting the sleepwalking psychosexual drama, which follows Dr. Bill’s plunge into a kinky conspiratorial underworld. Who sends him into the precipice? Kidman as Alice who, in a scorching pot-fueled monologue (‘it’s not the pot, it’s you!’), reveals all the loose ends in their marriage and exposes Bill’s worst insecurities.

While Kidman gets less screen time than Cruise, her performance is unforgettably eerie and almost somnambulent — like the way she drunkily flirts with an art dealer before turning him down. Why? He asks. ‘Becaaaaause,’ she says with a champagne drawl. ‘I’m maaaaaarried .’ — RL

4. ‘The Others’ (2001)

THE OTHERS, Nicole Kidman, 2001, (c) Dimension Films/courtesy Everett Collection

Kidman isn’t exactly an actor people label as a Scream Queen, but some of her richest and most arresting performances toe the line into the realm of psychological horror. Take the 2001 ghost story ‘The Others,’ a gorgeously crafted ghost story that casts her as the gothic heroine. A 1945 housewife awaiting her husband’s return from the war, Kidman’s Grace is a rigid Catholic woman whose faith and composure are tested when she and her children are subject to strange supernatural phenomena around their British island country home.

Alejandro Amenábar’s film is notable for its dripping atmosphere and gorgeous style, and Kidman complements that with a great sense of presence, between her statuesque body language and icy blue eyes. But as the supernatural incidents pile up and Grace’s composure is unsettled, Kidman ably frays and dissolves onscreen, her eyes turning buggy and her stature growing shaky. It’s an underrated challenge to depict pure horror on screen, but Kidman makes it look easy. —WC

3. ‘Dogville’ (2003)

Lars von Trier centers his Brechtian-inspired ‘Dogville’ around a blockbuster movie star, whose under-a-bell-jar image he set upon to deconstruct: Nicole Kidman. Freshly off her Best Actress Oscar win for ‘The Hours’ and also out of her messily public but oddly inscrutable divorce from Tom Cruise, Kidman flew to rural Trollhättan in Sweden to get on a soundstage with von Trier and his cast.

Grace Mulligan (Kidman) is on the run from her gangster father (James Caan) in a hardscrabble town whose residents’ largesse eventually turns to disgust and disdain, and they degrade and debase her to a breaking point. Ar least, until she decides to take it no longer.

This is one of Kidman’s boldest and most unvarnished performances, a complete 180 from her prior star turns, and an indication that Kidman would never let herself get too comfortable in her choice of roles. — RL

2. ‘Birth’ (2004)

BIRTH, Nicole Kidman, 2004, (c) New Line/courtesy Everett Collection

Jonathan Glazer’s drama starring Nicole Kidman as a woman confronted by her past perplexed audiences and critics when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2004. But there’s no denying it’s one of Kidman’s crowning achievements and certainly most out-there turns.

Anna (Kidman) is understandably quite jolted when a 10-year-old boy shows up at her Manhattan doorstep claiming to be the reincarnation of her dead husband. She’s meanwhile readying to marry someone else, the vanilla Joseph (Danny Huston), and this chain of events sends her into confusion and questioning. A masterful long take of Kidman settling into her seat at the opera after the news of her dead husband’s possible return comes crashing and swelling down around her is a testament to her ability to telegraph emotions merely from the quickening of her heartbeat and the slow cascade of panic on her face. — RL

1. ‘Moulin Rouge! (2001)

MOULIN ROUGE!, Nicole Kidman, Richard Roxburgh, 2001, TM & Copyright (c) 20th Century Fox Film Corp./courtesy Everett Collection

‘Oh poetry, yes. Yes. Yes! This is what I want: Naughty words!’ Kidman achieves a true career peak in Baz Luhrmann’s movie-length tribute to the ways in which performance plays into all aspects of life, from the bedroom to the ballroom and beyond.

As ‘the sparking diamond’ Satine, a courtesan in fin-de-siècle Paris, Kidman picks up the baton from Marilyn Monroe and delivers a rendition of ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’ with top hat and riding crop that kicks off the adrenalized star part to follow over the next two hours. Despite endless remixes of late 20th-century pop hits, as much CGI as you’d find in a ‘Star Wars’ prequel, Kylie Minogue as a green fairy, and Placido Domingo as the singing moon, Kidman commands the screen, bending it all to her will — and still conveying fragility underneath. You can see her turn uncertainty into determination with a straightening of her spine and a lift of her chin after she’s just proclaimed Freddie Mercury’s ‘I’ll top the bill, I’ll earn the kill, I’ll have to find the will to carry on with the, on with the, on with THE SHOW!’ and walks past the camera to go and break poor Ewan McGregor’s heart.

This is a tribute to the interplay of artifice and authenticity in fueling sexuality as potent as any of Marlene Dietrich’s portraits of women leading men to their doom with Josef von Sternberg — and Luhrmann finds ever more screens and shadows and lighting effects to make Kidman into a Eurydice-like mirage. No popular spectacle this century has been driven by a performance as singular as hers here. —CB

Nicole Kidman appears to reference ex-husband Tom Cruise in a rare moment during AFI speech

Kidman has a strained relationship with Cruse and the children they share together, and they were all absent from the glitzy event.

Netflix star hits back at affair claims

Rock legend announces shock split

Sandilands’ wild claim about Delta Goodrem

Nicole Kidman appeared to make a rare reference to her tumultuous history with Tom Cruise while she was being honoured with a AFI Life Achievement Award.

Kidman is fiercely private when it comes to her children, both those she shares with her husband Keith Urban and her eldest children, Connor and Isabella, who she shares with Tom Cruise.

Kidman and Cruise adopted Isabella in 1992 and Connor in 1995. During their divorce in 2001, they shared joint custody. At the time, it was reported he children were “loyal to their father” due to their connection to Scientology, and decided to live with him.

It’s unknown how close a relationship the two children share with Kidman, however they failed to make an appearance at their mother’s AFI event, despite reports claiming she had “hoped” they’d be there.

During her speech, Kidman didn’t appear to make mention of Connor and Isabella, but referred to her daughters with Urban as “the loves of my life”.

Cruise, however, did get an apparent shout-out during her speech.

Kidman spoke of working with actors and learning from them, saying: “Some of them you may never meet again and some of them you do meet again. Some of them you have incredible laughter and jokes with, and you cry with; some of them you fall in love with, some of them you marry.”

Tom Cruise shares two adopted children with Kidman, and it's thought they have a much stronger relationship with their father. Picture from AAP Image.

Kidman and Cruise met while working on the 1989 film Days of Thunder and married in 1990.

Kidman last spoke of the children she shares with Cruise during an interview back in 2017.

More Coverage

“They are adults. They are able to make their own decisions. They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” she explained.

She went on to insist that she offers them “unconditional love” despite their links with Scientology and their father, Cruise.

“And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love, and I’m open here. I think that’s so important, because if that is taken away from a child, to sever that in any child, in any relationship, in any family – I believe it’s wrong. So that’s our job as a parent, to always offer unconditional love.”

N icole Kidman and Tom Cruise were once the Hollywood “it” couple. They were married for 11 years after meeting on a movie set, but soon realized that their marriage was not going to last forever. They divorced in 2001.

It’s quite sad to see famous couples breaking up, but Kidman and Cruise remained good pals who share mutual respect and love for each other. The actress even acknowledged her ex-husband in a recent event.

Nicole Kidman Makes A Heartwarming Reference To Tom Cruise In Her Acceptance Speech

Nicole Kidman received a 49th AFI Life Achievement Award on Saturday as the actress and her colleagues relive the journey of her career in Hollywood. She gave a moving speech that chronicled the joys and the sorrows of being a celebrity as well as forging relationships with her costars.

“You won’t have a career, you’re too tall”: Tom Cruise’s Ex-Wife Nicole Kidman Was Bullied in Hollywood Because of Her Height

In an article posted by The Hollywood Reporter , the outlet remarked how Kidman gave a nudge to Tom Cruise .

“ In her speech, Kidman reflected on her journey to Hollywood stardom, which started in Australia and with her sleeping on friends’ floors and sofas while she tried to book jobs. She spoke about her love of actors and learning from them along the way, noting, ‘some of them you may never meet again and some of them you do meet again. Some of them you have incredible laughter and jokes with and you cry with; some of them you fall in love with, some of them you marry,’ seemingly referencing ex-husband Tom Cruise .”

Indeed, she and Cruise were very much infatuated with each other that they decided to marry the same year their first movie together came out. The Mission: Impossible actor was so smitten by Kidman when he first saw her at a private screening of the movie Dead Calm .

Of course, Cruise worked on his magic in order to partner up with Kidman in 1990’s Days of Thunder . A budding romance grew since then, and that was the beginning of their journey as Hollywood’s famous couple.

Even After Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman Left Him, Tom Cruise Is Still a “Hopeless Romantic” Who Strongly Believes in Love at First Sight

It’s nice to hear that Kidman remembers the good times she had with her ex-lover even though she’s now married to country music singer Keith Urban . Kidman and Cruise share two children, Bella and Connor.

Nicole Kidman’s Shot To Hollywood Fame

Kidman may have met Cruise while filming Days of Thunder , but this was also the movie that gave her the biggest break of her career. Looking back on her 1990 movie, the Australian star told Yahoo Entertainment :

“ I just remember being amazed that I was in America, and suddenly I had this role in this huge Tom Cruise movie .”

“She wanted to do it herself”: Nicole Kidman Refused to Use Body Double for Violent S*x Scene With James Gunn’s Rumored Superman Actor That Left Her Bruised

The actress’ work on the said movie helped her secure more movie roles, including the ones that catapulted her to extreme fame, such as Moulin Rouge , The Hours , and Rabbit Hole . Since her divorce from Cruise, she had found her own path in Hollywood and even made her star shine brighter.

Days of Thunder is available to stream on Prime Video and Apple TV.
