The Worst Nicole Kidman Movie of All Time, According to Critics
Amid all the awards, these are the worst reviewed films the star has made.
Nicole Kidman has won an Academy Award, two Emmys, and five Golden Globes, but how many bad movies has she made? More than you'd think. At least, that's the assessment of the critics, who have panned plenty entries in Kidman's lengthy filmography over the past few decades. Amid all the awards and recognition for her great performances, these are the worst Nicole Kidman movies ever made.
To find these flawed films, we turned to Rotten Tomatoes' ranking of every Nicole Kidman movie, then went straight to the "rotten" ones—that is, any movie scoring under 60 percent. Be aware that Rotten Tomatoes ranks scores using an algorithm that rates some critics above others, so don't be surprised to see scores that aren't in exact descending order. On the whole, however, the following list represents the worst reviewed films of Kidman's career, and you might be shocked by some of the fan favorites included. Read on to see which movies the critics hated, and for more bad reviews for a big star, check out The Worst Meryl Streep Movies of All Time, According to Critics.
