Stephen L Side Effects is a captivating thriller that masterfully intertwines timely themes with an intricate plot. Steven Soderbergh delivers a film that's both exhilarating and thought-provoking, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. The all-star cast shines, with Rooney Mara and Catherine Zeta-Jones delivering stellar performances. Channing Tatum and Jude Law also excel in their roles, adding depth to the complex narrative. The film's exploration of the darker aspects of psychology and its intersection with the business world raises compelling questions. Side Effects is a must-see that didn't receive the recognition it deserved during its award season.​ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Martin S I bet the drug companies loved this film for it exonerates them of responsibility for the adverse side effects of their psychoactive drugs and implies the side effects are malicious acts of individuals for evil intent. I bet Psychiatrists hate this film, for it implies they are gullible fools to be conned by anyone however young. The acting is not convincing. Maybe because they actors are required to tell a lie, to deny the very real adverse side effects of psychoactive drugs. The film seems to run out of time. The end telling you rather than showing and engaging you which makes the ending feel false.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Josh B Tedious dross. Neither the story or the characters are credible. The context and the driving ideas rarely meet. An audio visual sedative prescribed for those who find it hard to wait for silly reveals.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review gioconda d Soderbergh has made many brilliant movies. In the case of "Side Effects" was frankly shocked at how truly awful this movie is. This is without a doubt the worst movie Soderbergh ever made. On the surface it looks promising. Within 5 minutes the film begins to unravel. Rooney Mara is absolutely awful. Wow. I know she has big connections, but why would a director of the calibre of Soderbergh hire someone so true bad? Did her family put up some production money? I've seen much more acting from both Jude Law & Catherine Zeta-Jones & know they both can do so much better than this schlock. They both probably want to forget about this movie too. I wonder if something went on behind the scenes where the story had to be rewritten --- or something. Did financing fall through & suddenly they had a week left to finish this ludicrous project? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
