Single White Female (1992)

Synopsis:

Traumatized by the discovery that her live-in fiance has cheated on her with his ex-wife, Allison Jones (Bridget Fonda) decides to find a roommate to share her apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. After interviewing candidates, beautiful, sophisticated career woman Allison settles on Hedra Carlson (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a shy, mousy woman who has a hopeless fashion sense, and seemingly, a heart of gold. At first she’s an ideal roommate, asking Allison for advice and attempting to emulate her cosmopolitan style. But Hedra’s adulation grows more and more disturbing as Allison realizes that her new roommate has a dark side. Barbet Schroeder (BARFLY, REVERSAL OF FORTUNE) directed this taut psychological thriller. Jason Leigh is mesmerizing as the disturbed Hedra; Fonda is well cast as the unwitting victim of another's psychosis.
