"SINGLE WHITE FEMALE has NYC's grandiose, beaux-arts Ansonia edifice as its main setting (with the interior of its apartment colored in a dark blue, sinister register as if it is underwater), where lives Alison Jones (Fonda, in her pixie-cut fashion plate glamour), a natty software designer. After kicking out her unfaithful boyfriend Sam (Weber), she is charmed by a new roommate Hedy Carlson (Leigh), a dowdy, seemingly unaggressive girl who will, in due time, become her worst nightmare. Hedy's obsession of Alison shows evidence of genuine psychopathology, losing the sense of boundary, becoming clingy and possessive, imitating Alison's wardrobe and coiffure, a deranged Hedy will stop at nothing to turn Alison into her dead twin sister. Along the way, noisome members of the sterner sex will be duly if unrealistically snuffed until it is down to a catfight between these two besties to duke it out."
