Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Single White Female earns its spot. At its heart, Single White Female understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. Having recently split from her fiancé, Allison Jones welcomes new roommate Hedra Carlson. The young women quickly form a bond, but soon Allison begins to notice not all’s well with her new tenant. Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1992. The plot mechanics of Single White Female never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after in Single White Female. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Watch Bridget Fonda work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.
