September 21, Big Hollywood. June 22, Georgia Straight. August 15, Even for , The Roommate is cringe-worthy when it comes to the depiction of mental health issues.

That said, I do understand the desire to queue up a dumb thriller starring people who were famous ten years ago. When she first arrives, college freshman Sara Kelly thinks her roommate Rebecca Meester is her new best friend. Apparently, this makes her murderous. Like I said: This movie is not a great depiction of mental health. This is not really the case here. As time goes on, Rebecca's obsession with Sara grows which causes her to become increasingly violent and that she tries to drive away anyone who could come between them.

Rebecca attacks Tracy in the shower and threatens to kill her unless she stays away from Sara. Tracy moves to another dorm, fearful of Rebecca. An old friend of Sara named Irene, who is also a lesbian, invites her to move in with them, but when Sara tells that to Rebecca, she plans to insure that Sara will stay with her by taking Sara's pet kitten, Cuddles, and puts him in a dryer offscreen. Rebecca lies to Sara and tells her that the kitten ran away.

When Sara's philandering fashion design professor Billy Zane kisses her, Rebecca plans to get the professor out of the picture to impress Sara by seducing him while recording their dialogue on a tape recorder to make it look like he was sexually abusing her.

Later Rebecca lies once again to Sara by telling her she went looking for Cuddles but was raped and beaten brutally by a street thug, when in reality, the wounds on Rebecca's body are self-inflicted. Sara feels bad for her and decides to spend the Thanksgiving with Rebecca. During her stay, Sara overhears a conversation between Rebecca and her father David Patrick Kelly , hinting Rebecca has had trouble making friends in the past. Rebecca's mother Frances Fisher mentions that Rebecca is supposed to be taking medication.

She and Stephen later find a bottle of Zyprexa pills, which they find out via Wikipedia is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. But the bottle is full, implying that Rebecca didn't take any pills. Sara, worried what would happen decides to move in with Irene. Irene Danneel Harris goes to a club where she sees Rebecca. They make out in the club's bathroom and Irene, not knowing that Rebecca is Sara's roommate, goes back to her place.

The following morning, Sara goes to Irene's place but she's not there. Rebecca gets Sara's sister's name tattooed in the same place on her body as Sara, saying that Sara can now think of Rebecca as her sister.
