A stylishly shot thriller with several hair-raising moments. Considering that it's directed by Barbet Schroeder and stars Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh, it's also a major disappointment.

Reviews for Single White Female
The climax is a long time coming, and you can't help feeling that the adaptation would work better as a play.

All of this escalates in its level of ridiculousness until there are unintentional laughs attending a new use for stiletto heels and a chase through Fonda's tenement building, which never seems to have any tenants in sight.

If his two leads are adequate to the slick mechanisms of a formulaic thriller, neither they nor Don Roos' script (based on the novel by John Lutz) offer any original insights into insatiable emotional dependence.

You watch this thing coolly intrigued and sometimes amused, rather than terrified and taken in -- even when the stabbing raises its bloody, predictable hand.

Top CriticAs psychological thriller, it has a good beginning but poor ending. Even so, there eerie scenes, such as the one in which the women stand in front of the mirror examining themselves--it recalls Ingmar Bergman's Persona, also dealing with role reversal

The tension between its content and its trashy form is precisely the key to its vitality. If it were any less cheap, it wouldn't have the same edgy, gut-twisting jolt.

Top CriticAn above-average psycho thriller.

suitably chilling and convincingly played by Fonda and Jason Leigh
