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

Top CriticIf 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.

There's something dehumanizing about 90s horror thrillers that all but defeats the film's impulses toward seriousness; no matter how much the filmmakers work to make the characters real, the genre contrives to turn them into functions and props.

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.

Top CriticDespite excellent lead performances and numerous memorable scenes, this still feels like two different movies in one.

Top CriticGreat suspense thriller.

As 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

This should be trash, but Fonda and Leigh's performances keep things believably chilling.
