Jennifer Jason Leigh plays the lodger from hell who makes nice Bridget Fonda’s life a misery in this ludicrous but hugely enjoyable thriller from director Barbet Schroeder. Based on John Lutz’s novel, it has Fonda as a chic Manhattanite looking for a roommate, and Leigh as the shy, frumpy “perfect” candidate. That is, until she starts dressing like Fonda and even tries to steal her boyfriend. You may be able to guess the end from the first five minutes, but that doesn’t make it any less enthralling, and it should certainly win a few plaudits for the most ingenious use of a stiletto heel in a movie.
