Review of Side Effects (2013) by Oroiael — 10 Feb 2013

The movie was enjoyable until the end. Along the way we watch the rise and fall of two characters as they slowly trade places. Then Hollywood in its infitesimal wisdom decided to give it a hack ending.

Not sure why? it was fine as a slow paced psychological thriller, but it failed in the dismount. Like a gymnast who was on their way to a perfect 10 falling flat on his/her face, the film ruins itself in the last 20 minutes.

Oh well. Aside from that Rooney Mara is a pleasure to watch on the screen.
