Review of Side Effects (2013) by Richard J — 18 Nov 2013

I saw the trailer to this and was instantly determined to see the film. I love anything that plunges you deep into the mind of the characters and has you exploring their mental state and their emotions and, to that end, this film most definitely did not let me down.

It did seem to take a little while to get going. The acting was fantastic and the plot full of twists and turns that left me wondering, even after the final credits had begun to roll, what was real and what was not - always the sign of a good film, in my eyes.

(I'm still pondering it now, several days later!) It was brilliantly done, although the relationship between Taylor and Siebert lacked a little credibility in my eyes... Still, all in all, well worth a watch - and I shall definitely watch it again!
