The fight scene finale between Sharon and Lisa, however, was commended by reviewers, and won the MTV Movie Award for Best Fight. The film's storyline has drawn comparisons to that of Fatal Attraction (1987) – a recollection in which Elba and Beyoncé have the Michael Douglas and Anne Archer roles, respectively, while Larter is in Glenn Close's – although film critics disliked the fact that Derek did not yield to Lisa's seduction. Others noted that the potential theme of interracial conflict between the Charles family, who are black, and Lisa, who is white, was unexplored. Obsessed received generally negative reviews from critics, many of whom were disappointed in the absence of an explanation for Lisa's obsession with Derek.
It was released in the United States on April 24, 2009, by Sony Pictures Releasing through Screen Gems. Lisa and Sharon were dressed in contrasting styles to reinforce their conflicting characters. Obsessed was inspired by the work of directors Roman Polanski and Alfred Hitchcock, and more specifically Fatal Attraction (1987), and its score was written by James Dooley. Derek's wife, Sharon (Beyoncé), learns of Lisa's obsessive behavior, and suspects an affair. Starring Idris Elba, Beyoncé Knowles, and Ali Larter, the film tells the story of Lisa (Larter), an office temp who develops unrequited feelings for her boss, Derek Charles (Elba), and repeatedly attempts to seduce him. Obsessed is a 2009 American psychological thriller film directed by Steve Shill and written by David Loughery.
