Death Becomes Her

Death Becomes Her (1992) is a dark comedy from Universal Pictures you can watch online on iFILM. Director Robert Zemeckis cast Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis in a story about vanity, rivalry, and the price of living forever. The film won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.

Actress Madeline (Streep) steals her best friend Helen's fiancé — plastic surgeon Ernest (Willis). Years later Helen reappears: thinner, colder, and carrying a bottle of something that promises eternal youth. Madeline gets her hands on the same potion. Both women become immortal, which turns out to be far messier than either expected. Ernest is trapped between them with no clean way out.

Dismissed by some critics in 1992, the film found a devoted following over the decades — Streep and Hawn's physical comedy and the audacious practical effects aged into something genuinely strange and funny. Stream Death Becomes Her online on iFILM.
