All Nicole Kidman Movies Ranked

Nicole Kidman is an actor who keeps moviegoers, awards prognosticators, and our own Tomatometer guessing. Just when you think she's heading in one clear direction – upon winning her Oscar in 2003 forThe Hours("by a nose") she appeared in a string of mainstream studio flicks likeThe Interpreter andBewitched– she takes a sharp turn: when she put down theBewitchedbroomstick, she moved on to indie curiosities likeFur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane ArbusandMargot at the Wedding. She's been mixing those kinds of daring indie choices with more mainstream fare ever since she emerged on the world stage with a scene-stealing role in Phillip Noyce's acclaimed boat-bound thriller,Dead Calm. Kidman in the '90s meant supporting roles in blockbusters likeBatman ForeverandDays of Thunder, and leading, attention-grabbing turns in more off kilter fare like Gus Van Sant'sTo Die Forand, notoriously, Stanley Kubrick'sEyes Wide Shut. In the 2000s, she mastered new genres – Oscar nominated for musical,Moulin Rouge!, scream-queen–certified forThe Others— and continued racking up the accolades, ending the decade with another Oscar nom forRabbit Hole. She was on a hot streak starting 2015, with five Certified Fresh films, leading up to significant awards talk for Destroyer and even Bombshell. Her latest films include The Upside, The Goldfinch, and The Prom. Play catchup on a fascinating career with this list of all of Nicole Kidman's movies, ranked by Tomatometer.
