Mulher Solteira Procura

Cliche ending they say-I disagree. Strongly disagree. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. Apart from I could have watched a whole series of this. A very well done, well shown masterpiece. Fonda is a little stone-faced at times and some of the actors lacked energy, but regardless although middy predictable, this movie deserved much more attention than it got. This wasn't a B-movie, nor was it flat and bland. Lots of nicely done scenes, wasn't over the top, wasn't dull, got you gripped and got you to think about your actions and who you trust. Entertaining all the way through and the other lead (the disturbed one) not only looked hot and gorgeous, she really did well with her character. Starting off as a shy young woman trying to make it in the big apple and be supportive, moving in with a vulnerable woman who looked a bit like Peter Pan. Still gripping.

A fairly engaging psychological thriller. Of course, there must be some suspension of disbelief, as in Hedy(Jennifer Jason Leigh) wielding a shoe. Also, there really are no truly sympathetic characters here. Hedy, of course, is what she is. And, Allie(Bridget Fonda), the supposed heroine, does kind of screw over Hedy. And Sam (Steven Webber) is basically a snake anyway. As for the actors, I thought Miss Leigh was by far the best, though she had the meatiest part, so it may be hard to compare. And what an amazing apartment for a young software designer in Manhattan. OK, they mentioned it was rent-controlled. What an insane economic policy. Grade: B-

Single White Female which is based on a book, was made into a movie in 1992, and it is about a young woman who moves into an apartment and finds a girl Hedra is a crazy psycho who wants to be her. The acting is really good and professional and the story is a tense thriller that could be on a channel like Lifetime or LMN. The movie is set in New York and was actually filmed there. The cinematography and scenery is well done as well which I liked. I enjoyed the film and recommend it for others to see. I have not real the novel that this is adapted from but I would like to to see how it is different. If you haven't seen this, I recommend that you do so.

7/10 stars.

'Vertigo' meets 'Basic Instinct' as like Clint Eastwood in 'Play Misty for Me', Bridget Fonda learns the hard way that a seemingly harmless young lady she introduces to her life (and her palatial apartment) is more than just needy.

This is a tense thriller about an obsessive woman who becomes too enthralled in someone else's life, and even gets herself mixed up in lies, deceit and other bad activities, and the cycle of problems just gets more momentum. The basic plot is that Allison (Bridget Fonda) gets a roommate for her Manhattan apartment (has anyone ever seen an apartment this large in NYC??) after her skirt-crazy live-in lover Sam (played by "Wings" star Steven Weber) runs around on her. It's Headra "Hedy" (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to the rescue! This is one of my favorite suspense films. The setting is amazing, an old spooky apartment building but a gorgeous sparsely furnished apartment within. There really isn't a lot of violence in this movie, mainly just at the end. It's a good suspense movie, though, which builds and builds. The film is stylish, thanks to Luciano Tovoli (Suspiria) cinematography. Fonda and Leigh give strong performances in this movie. This is an underrated thriller, which is surprisingly clever movie.

Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
