SIDE EFFECTS (2013)

Cast

Plot

A superior psychological thriller from soon-to-be-retired Steven Soderbergh, centring on theinteration between troubled young wife of an insider trader newly-released from jail and her doctor who prescribes her medication to alleviate her depressive state. The bare-bones of the twisting plot are pure pulp, butthe story is surgically invested with very human actions and their hazardous consequences at its core, bothin personalterms and in a wider global context.
