SYNOPSIS/PLOT

Plagued by emotional and mental troubles, Emily (Rooney Mara) faces uncontrollable anxiety regarding her husband, Martin's (Channing Tatum) upcoming release from prison. Turning to her psychiatrist (Jude Law) for help, she is prescribed a mysterious new drug which is intended to treat anxiety and seems to work wonders... at first. Unfortunately, the pills she takes begin causing serious, unexpected side effects that cause trouble for those around her, especially when a murder is committed.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Steven Soderbergh's elegantly coiled puzzler spins a tale of clinical depression and psychiatric malpractice into an absorbing, cunningly unpredictable entertainment" (Justin Chang: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"Side Effects is a hell of a thriller, twisty, terrific and packed with surprises (...) There is a side effect to this movie, but it's one that I think most film junkies can live with: You can't get it out of your head (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"In trying to merge this alarmist theme with an old-fashioned murder mystery, the filmmakers throw at least one plot-twist sucker-punch too many, leaving the viewer with an "Oh, come on" reaction to the entire film" (Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"Soderbergh came, he saw, he conquered (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"There May Be Side Effects, but There’s Just No Miracle Drug for Pretentious. (...) I have seen it twice, and I still don’t know what it’s about" (Rex Reed: The New York Observer)
