A top-notch thriller that hits every note just right. this is a film not to be missed. Jude Law reminds us of his enormous talent and Rooney Mara is excellent in an all-star cast.
The story will keep you guessing all the way to the end and then some.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I found the movie to lack true suspense. On my scale I rate it as a "wait until you can rent it at "Redbox"
Cons slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I'm not sure exactly what I went in expecting. The trailer is a little vague, it sounded like another indictment of big pharma, and I'm not enough of a movie buff to care about Soderbergh's swan song. But it turned out to be an entertaining thriller with enough twists to keep up interest. Everything about it was good, except for the performance of Rooney Mara, which was very good. There are a lot worse ways to spend two hours in a movie house.
Pros solidly good
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Movie starts slow and boring and keeps you at the edge of the seats with the twists and turns and gives a great feeling at the end of the movie.
Not for kids for 13-. But otherwise it is a great satisfying movie.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

"Side Effects" is a tight Suspense Thriller that touches on the anxieties of depression and deals with the moral aspects of medical ethics.
Emily (Rooney Mara) and Martin's (Channing Tatum) successful world collapses amidst a new experimental drug that is prescribed by Emily's psychiatrist (Jude Law). The drug is intended to treat Anxiety, but of course has many side effects one in particular is sleep walking. The story unfolds from there...
"Side Effects" is a series of twists, turns, surprises, drama and deafening suspense. This is Director Steve Soderbergh at his finest. You will attempt to figure out what is going on in the movie and think you have it all figured out right up to the end, but you'd be wrong.
The sneakiness, surprises, suspense, twists and turns are what make "Side Effects" worth seeing. "Side Effects" isn't great, but it is very good and has an excellent cast!!
If you love Drama and Suspense, "Side Effects" is your movie.
Pros well paced, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
