ChadS.Feb 9, 20027Nicole Kidman is so good here. "Birthday Girl" really ignites in spots after some off-putting overplotting and simply allows Kidman to show a range that grows less surprising with each outing. The first plot twist is rather awkward which threatens watchability for a patch, but then John(Ben Chaplin) and Nadia get to know each other better and the film's onset of modest charm is restored.

JimmiH.Mar 25, 20068I saw this film by chance - had never heard of it before. Why do great movies like this go unnoticed? It has a great story with several twists, none of which feel forced. Reminds me a bit of the Coen brothers. It seemed a bit weird to have superstar Kidman playing the mystery russian girl, but her performance is really convincing and she gets away with it.

80Charmingly setting aside glamour for a turn at pure acting, Nicole Kidman zings up the already zingy script of Birthday Girl.
-
63This bizarre, uneven comedy is notable mostly for the unsettling presence of Nicole Kidman in full, kinky, sex-kitten mode.
-
63A paper-thin wish-fulfillment comedy about escaping small-town repressions and blasting conformity.
