Movie Reviews of Single White Female
Movie Review: "A Stylish High-Class Thriller"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Single White Female" is one of the best psycholgical suspense thrillers. Debuting in theatres in 1992, the film hasn't really aged much, except for the hairstyles and clothes. The story is still prevailent today as the message here is clear: make sure you check out your roomate's past before having them live with you.
Bridget Fonda, Jane's niece, and the wonderful Jennifer Jason Leigh ("Dolores Clairborne's" Selena), star in this film about two young career women who move in together in a stylish New York apartment. Alley, the Leigh character, suffers from severe mental issues unbeknownst to the Bridget Fonda character. The problems Alley has becomes evident not only when she shows possession to her new roomate, but also at the point where Alley wants to take over her friend's life. A hugely suspenceful thriller that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. Jennifer Jason Leigh plays one of the best villins ever in the history of films in this piece and the writing and direction is impeccable. The scenery of New York is breathtaking as well, as the film was shot in the Big Aplle in the summer of 1991.
There is a remake of the film that was sold directly to DVD called "Single White Female 2:, but it is absolute trash. Buy this original as it is an excellent film.
The DVD is barebones, but it comes with the theatrical trailer, is in widescreen format, and is dual layered with both full and standard editions.
Summary of Single White Female
An innocent want ad opens the door to murderous unrelenting terror in this pulse-pounding psychological shocker. When mousy hedra carlson answered her ad she thinks she found the perfect roommate. But before long hedra takes over the spare bedroom allies clothes her boyfriend and her identity. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/21/2004 Starring: Bridget Fonda Jennifer Jason Leigh Run time: 107 minutes Rating: R Director: Barbet SchroederYou can take this 1992 thriller one of two ways: it's either a highly suspenseful movie about an unfortunate young woman's psychological breakdown, or it's a glossy slasher movie starring two of Hollywood's best young actresses. Or maybe it's both at the same time--or perhaps it's the clever and well-acted thriller for its first hour before resorting to the routine shocks of a cheap horror flick. However you look at it, there's no denying that this is a dynamite showcase for Jennifer Jason Leigh as the roommate from hell who becomes the bane of Bridget Fonda's existence. First she picks up Fonda's mannerisms, then starts to borrow her wardrobe, cuts her hair to resemble Fonda's, and even "borrows" her roomie's boyfriend for a deceitful night of lovemaking. By that point Fonda's totally freaking out (wouldn't you?), and, well, that's when the whole thing gets a little too silly. Still, this is a nifty little shocker, and director Barbet Schroeder brings more intelligence and style to the material than it really deserves. Add that to the fine performances by the battling roommates and you've got a movie that will make you think twice before inviting total strangers to live with you. --Jeff Shannon
