Story: Emily Taylor, despite being reunited with her husband from prison, becomes severely depressed with emotional episodes and suicide attempts. Her psychiatrist, Jonathan Banks, after conferring with her previous doctor, eventually prescribes an experimental new medication called Ablixa. The plot thickens when the side effects of the drug lead to Emily killing her husband in a "sleepwalking" state. With Emily plea-bargained into mental hospital confinement and Dr. Banks' practice crumbling around him, the case seems closed.

Side Effects (2013) Review by Karen Boyd
I read an article that said that, with Side Effects, Steven Soderberghwanted to return to the old suspense classics like Jagged Edge and muchof Hitchcock, psychological twisters that aren't made much anymore.
I suspect that's because today people expect vampires, car chases orbuckets of blood to justify the price of a ticket. Well, I too rememberthose old classics and I loved them. Side Effects is a worthy additionbut be warned that it's a thinking person's movie not a chainsaw caper.
I'm surprised that so many people mention the twists and turns. Yes,there are some but not that many and they're what makes it all sofascinating. You think you know what's happening -- but you don't! WhatI especially enjoyed was the gamesmanship the different charactersdisplayed. It's like a chess match with three people and more tokibitz.
And yet as we travel through the story, the surprising bits do makesense and we wonder why we didn't think of those things before. We'redeep into the heart of mental illness and psychopathology. Almost everycharacter has secrets or hidden motives they would not like to see thelight of day. Although the main character seems at first to be thetroubled young wife, it becomes clear that it is Jude Law's characteras the shrink who is struggling to find the truth and do the rightthing.
Just when you think everything that can go wrong for him has, the tidebegins to turn and it's Oh My Gosh. Just like a Hitchcock film, youhave a guy to root for and wonder how he will ever work his way though.I expected a different -- more startling -- ending, but there is thepromise (perhaps?) of more horror to come.
Yes, let's definitely have a sequel! Okay, Stephen?
Side Effects (2013) Review by napierslogs from Ontario, Canada
In "Side Effects", Emily (Rooney Mara) is feeling hopeless, sufferingfrom prolonged effects of abandonment issues, unsure how to proceed inher life. Her husband, Martin (Channing Tatum) has just come home fromprison, serving time for insider trading. But Emily doesn't know whatshe should be feeling; Emily doesn't know how to feel what she shouldbe feeling. Psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law) is exactly whatthe doctor ordered.
For those of us who watched "Contagion" (2011) and wanted to focus onlyon Jude Law's morally ambiguous blogger, Alan Krumwiede, we havefinally gotten our wish. Law's morally ambiguous Dr. Jon Banks andMara's psychologically ambiguous Emily are the only two maincharacters. There is only one story to follow.
It starts off with some strange camera angles (Steven Soderberghserving as his own director of photography as he has for the majorityof his films) but then settles down as a thriller, or what will becomea thriller once we get to know the characters better. Emily has triedmany antidepressants in the past but most leave her with undesired sideeffects: nausea, dizziness, or lack of a sex drive. Won't Dr. Banksplease prescribe her something different? Sure, how about Ablixa, thenew medication which Dr. Banks is being paid to try out on patients.
And although we now think we know in which character evil lies, we donot. Dr. Jonathan Banks is singularly the most complicated,interestingly created character in recent times. He's modern, selfish,compassionate, professionally-oriented, family-oriented, has respectfor the legal system, and will go to extremes to distinguish betweenright and wrong. He's the focus of this character-centric, film noirthriller which uses Mara's Emily as the vehicle for the plot.
A crime is committed. It's bad, really bad. But the question is not whodid it, the question is, who is guilty? In answering that question thefilm weaves from deception through twist to deception, never ceasingour questions of what is morally right, what is morally wrong and whois guilty? The screenplay is incredibly well-written, creatingcharacters that amaze us, disappoint us and deceive us all the whilebeing a part of an interesting and complex story. The dialogue fitswith that theme, using words like "hopeless" to tie multiple characterstogether - conceptually not physically.
It's more of an edge-of-your-mind thriller rather than an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Never really scared, always questioning the moral andpsychological behaviour of these characters. The ending takes somestrange, sexually-charged turns, and perhaps a bit more conclusive thanI was originally expecting, but don't worry, you can still questionwhere the line is between right and wrong and when each charactercrossed it.
Side Effects (2013) Review by Dan Franzen (dfranzen70) from United States
If you're lucky, Side Effects won't be permanent. For half of themovie, it is a persuasive indictment of the pharmaceutical industry andits crass behavior toward its patients; for the other half, it is athree- cornered mystery/thriller, with double crosses and framingsgalore. It is fair to say that the movie is adequate during each of itsdisparate parts, but overall it's a convoluted story that immersesitself in faux intrigue and wraps itself up so neatly that you canpractically see the bow on it.
Emily (Rooney Mara) is a depressive; her husband Martin (ChanningTatum) has just returned from a stint in prison for insider trading,but she feels anxious and can't sleep. She visits psychiatrist JonathanBanks (Jude Law), who prescribes a brand-new drug to help her out whenthe better-known brands (Zoloft, Paxil, Wellbutrin, etc.) don't seem tobreak Emily from her ennui. But the drug, as you might have guessed soexpertly, does have its side effects.
It turns out - not a spoiler - that Emily has begun to sleepwalk. Well,more than sleepwalk, she does things in her sleep, like cook breakfastand set the table, all in the middle of the night and not remembering athing the next day. Tragedy strikes while Emily sleeps. Is she theculprit, or is the drug to blame?
At first, the premise seems to be that involving patients in drugs thatare just approved, as part of a study, is pretty unethical behavior bya doctor. Dr. Banks has bills to pay, though, what with his wife losingher high-powered job. So he's working longer hours and taking on morework, including participation in this study. When the tragedy thatstrikes comes back to haunt him as well as Emily, the movie takes aturn - it manages to turn Banks from being just an overextended shmoeinto a manipulative drug dealer who uses his patients as experiments.Up until this point, we don't know whether Banks is actually innocent.From what we've seen, he seems so, but he could have inadvertentlycaused someone's death by prescribing medication to someone who reactedbadly to the side effects. Naturally, his reputation (and marriage) inruins, Banks works to clear his name. This is actually easier than itis in most movies of this ilk, because he's not in prison or anything.He just needs to piece together clues.
One of those clues is Emily's last doctor, Victoria Siebert (CatherineZeta-Jones), who is helpful but guarded. She relates that Emily lefther care in Connecticut when Emily's husband got a job on Wall Street,which ultimately led Emily to see Dr. Banks.
The second half of the movie deals with Banks' efforts to find thingsout. Racing against time and struggling to believe various stories, heis now in full-on victim mode as presented to the viewer. It's not anunusual role; in fact, it's sort of a trope, the innocent trying toprove themselves. We're now sold on his innocence, and we as theaudience just want to know what's happened.
I mentioned before that the movie ends rather neatly. Too neatly for mytastes, although it's not as if the explanations were implausible. Butthere's nothing wrong with some loose ends, some ambiguity, and thisfilm - the 50th and final (maybe?) to be directed by Steven Soderbergh- leaves nothing ambiguous behind. We know, in full, the motives andfates of each character. Is this a good thing? Many won't be botheredby it, but for me I just prefer to have some questions left unanswered.
Law is adequate, although it feels like he's just stepping in for TomCruise when Cruise did all of those "framed man on the run" movies,like The Firm. Zeta-Jones is icy and opaque, two beneficial traits forher character. Mara, of course, steals the show, simply because ofthis: up until the last moments of the movie, we don't know whetheranything about Emily is true. Instead of Law being the victim/accused,Mara's character slips quietly into that very role. In Emily, Marabrings the ambiguity the film needs - it's just too bad that ambiguitydid not spread to the rest of the film. Shame; that would be a niceside effect indeed.
