Despite being reunited with her husband from prison, Emily Taylor becomes severely depressed with emotional episodes and suicide attempts. After conferring with her previous doctor, her psychiatrist, Jonathan Banks, eventually prescribes an experimental new medication called Ablixa, but the drug's side-effects lead to Emily killing her husband while in a "sleepwalking" state. With Emily plea-bargained into mental-hospital confinement and Dr. Banks' practice crumbling around him, the case seems closed. However, Dr. Banks cannot accept full responsibility and investigates to clear his name. What follows is a dark quest that threatens to tear apart what's left of his life even as he discovers the diabolical truth of this tragedy.
Leave your thoughts about Side Effects.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)If, as he has said, this is Soderbergh's last movie before a permanent break from filmmaking, at least he has gone out with a bang. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIf, as he has said, this is Soderbergh's last movie before a permanent break from filmmaking, at least he has gone out with a bang. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThe film keeps viewers emotionally invested yet intellectually off-balance, suffusing even the most ostensibly straightforward scenes with a sense of free-floating anxiety. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinThe instability bleeds into the fabric of the film itself, and until the very end, it is thrillingly hard to prise open its puzzle-box lid. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawWhat a gripping and disturbing thriller this is. Surely it can't be Soderbergh's last movie. Say it ain't so. |
| Film Journal InternationalChris BarsantiSteven Soderbergh's (supposed) swan song as a feature film director is less a 'Contagion'-like topical thriller about the dangers of pharmaceuticals than it is a crisp but low-voltage neo-noir where drugs are only part of the story. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversSide Effects is Soderbergh in full, flinty vigor. It's anything but a formula murder mystery. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaSide Effects, chilly and noirish, and boasting a wily performance from Catherine Zeta-Jones as a therapist who worked with Emily earlier in her adulthood, is, Soderbergh says, his swan song. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottWhile the plot may be predictable (and more than a little preposterous) in retrospect, Mr. Soderbergh handles it brilliantly, serving notice once again that he is a crackerjack genre technician. |
| TimeRichard CorlissSide Effects virtually demands a three-word review: Just see it. |
