Mercedes Meyer said:

fantastic movie, full of twists and surprises, two named women, Nina and Susan.
Susan dies early in the movie, and the two have no conversation with each other.

Shorty disagreed with the rating and said:

3/3 but its weak.
Susan and Nina have passing words in the hallway but its so brief you may miss it. ("I need to borrow your apartment." "Why do you need my apartment?" "Its just one of those things.") Also Nina has no other scenes and nothing to do with the story so its debatable if she is even a real character. More like a living prop.
