A portrayal of rivalry amongst females Death Becomes her is one of those movies in which despite the dark content you cannot help laughing. Meryl Streep, whom I consider the most talented actress in Hollywood gives a brilliant performance. Goldie Hawn's transformation from a docile and insecure woman to a sharp and cunning author is excellent as well. the movie is full of witty humour like when Streep says after killing Hawn " She even paid for the Hardware." The special effects oscar did full justice to the movie. However the climax could have been dealt a little better. I would rate it one of the better comedies in made in North America.
