Top CriticThe screws are tightened expertly in this suspenseful meller about a flipped-out femme who makes life hell for the married man who scorns her.

Top CriticWhile billed as a romance and a thriller, the film strictly qualifies as neither, appealing to our prurience, guilt, hatred, and dread.

Top CriticYears hence, it will be possible to pinpoint the exact moment that produced Fatal Attraction, Adrian Lyne's new romantic thriller, and the precise circumstances that made it a hit.

Top CriticClose should take pride in her performance. She should also expect a depressing avalanche of scripts requiring a she-wacko.

Top CriticFatal Attraction has an inescapable pull to it; it's suffocatingly exciting.

Top CriticBecause the good things in the movie -- including the performances -- are so very good, it's a shame that the film's potential for greatness was so blatantly compromised.
