Catfight

Having bitterly fallen out while still in college, pampered government contractor’s wife Veronica (Sandra Oh) and struggling avant-garde painter Ashley (Anne Heche) encounter one another for the first time in a generation. The expected passive-aggressive taunting unexpectedly escalates into a jaw-dropping, all-out slobber-knocker--one of several they’d have over the ensuing years as their respective fortunes waxed and waned. Onur Tukel’s stunningly dark social satire co-stars Alicia Silverstone, Dylan Baker, Craig Bierko. 96 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
