Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Perri Nemiroff (375) for Shockya.com (657) on 07 Feb 2013

Even when the narrative loses its footing, Soderbergh manages to keep the piece cohesive enough to make the entire experience very effective…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 06 Feb 2013

Side Effects is Soderbergh in full, flinty vigor. It's anything but a formula murder mystery…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 06 Feb 2013

Imagine music for a sorcery-related plot and then dial it down to ominous forebodings…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Andrew O'hehir (1,324) for Salon.com (2,725) on 06 Feb 2013

We'd like to believe that our SSRIs and MAOIs will bring us happiness, that love is real, that art or spirituality can offer transcendence…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 06 Feb 2013

Ultimately, think of the movie as a puzzle box in which all the pieces fit together wonderfully well…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Joanna Langfield (398) for The Movie Minute (398) on 06 Feb 2013

In his purported farewell to big screen directing, Steven Soderbergh has delivered a salute to some film masters that's also pretty darn fun…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Erick Weber (123) for NECN (109) on 06 Feb 2013

Its big twist is telegraphed so soon after its start, there's zero shock value and zero suspense as the film plods towards its pathetically…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for Observer (1,042) on 06 Feb 2013

What it turns out to be is a preposterous puzzle that fails every test under scrutiny, leaving the spectator with a “Huh…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 Feb 2013

If Side Effects, an immensely pleasurable thriller centering around psychotropic drugs, really is Steven Soderbergh's final big-screen film,…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Mark Ellis (362) for Schmoes Know (710) on 05 Feb 2013

Stick around, Mr. Soderbergh, you have a better walk-off film in you than this one…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Kristian Harloff (339) for Schmoes Know (710) on 05 Feb 2013

I was hooked in early and was in this film's grip throughout. If Side Effects is any indication, Soderbergh is hanging it up way too soon…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Katey Rich (412) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 05 Feb 2013

A twisty and surprisingly sexy thriller that, despite its heat, is actually about how cold and disconnected the world can be…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Keith Uhlich (870) for Time Out (7,510) on 05 Feb 2013

It’s a reasonably diverting piece of work, falling somewhere between the high of Magic Mike (2012) and the low of Haywire (2011), among his…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 05 Feb 2013

Steven Soderbergh, rightly considered one of Hollywood’s smartest movie makers, is at his cleverest in Side Effects, a canny, cunning big…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for indieWire (3,631) on 05 Feb 2013

The scenes pile up with frenetic intensity; as with Soderbergh's other recent exercises in the suspense genre, no single cutaway goes wasted…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Marshall Fine (1,011) for Hollywood & Fine (854) on 05 Feb 2013

A movie that's like a nesting doll - with each new revelation hiding as much as it reveals…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Chris Barsanti (896) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 04 Feb 2013

Steven Soderbergh's (supposed) swan song as a feature film director is less a 'Contagion'-like topical thriller about the dangers of pharmaceuticals…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Harvey S. Karten (2,210) for Compuserve (1,948) on 04 Feb 2013

Even if you're a young guy with no interest in the prescription drug scene, you'll be attentive to the melodramatic aspects of this psychological…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Variety (12,700) on 04 Feb 2013

Steven Soderbergh's elegantly coiled puzzler spins a tale of clinical depression and psychiatric malpractice into an absorbing, cunningly unpredictable…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 04 Feb 2013

Soderbergh’s alleged last theatrical film is paranoid and hopeless, but he leaves the field with a bounce in his step…
