Side Effects Reviews
The Atlantic
Ian Buckwalter
Soderbergh is less interested in making statements than he is in skillfully fulfilling genre expectations.
ChrisStuckmann.com
Chris Stuckmann
A chilling, disturbing portrait of the dangers of the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the evil of deceit.
Film School Rejects
Kate Erbland
Side Effects is a more than worthy film for anyone to end their career (well, maybe) on.
Bitch Media
Inkoo Kang
Dr. Banks' battle against evil lesbian scheme-hatchery sculpts him into a perfect husband, father, and doctor. It's surprising there isn't an epilogue to the film of him undergoing yet another transformation-this time into a saint, or maybe Superman.
ARTINFO.com
J. Hoberman
Side Effects showcases much of what the just 50-year-old filmmaker does best.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It is, when the end credits roll, a sold, sturdy little mystery - sleek, and more than a little junk-foody.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
It's difficult to escape the impression that the movie is impressed only with its cleverness.
The New Republic
David Thomson
Once Side Effects gets into its crime story, medication is swept aside by movie nonsense. The storyline goes into tangles that have to be dealt with very rapidly if the audience is not to start laughing.
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
A crafty teaser that presents itself as one kind of film before gradually evolving into another kind altogether. I, for one, enjoyed both enormously.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
Soderbergh and Burns keep us guessing who's who and what's what right to the end of their serpentine story.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
"Side Effects" does a nice job teasing current anxieties about depression, medical ethics and class striving with the classic thriller quandary of "Who's playing whom?"
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
A nicely nasty thriller -- and the less you know before seeing it, the more you'll enjoy it.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Side Effects virtually demands a three-word review: Just see it.
Detroit News
Tom Long
In some ways the film is more traditional than you think it will be, becoming a psychological puzzle piece. But Soderbergh lays the puzzle out so neatly, you can't help but be engrossed.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The twists are so game-changing that they make it difficult to discuss with people who have yet to see it.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns maintain a tone of taut creepiness, but the plot's double and triple crosses are more ingenious than believable.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's a gripping, maddening and thoroughly satisfying thriller, made with artfulness and integrity.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
If this does prove to be Soderbergh's final film - and I wouldn't hold my breath - he picked a heck of a one to go out on.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Like a gel cap in a sip of orange juice, the psycho-pharmacological thriller Side Effects goes down easily, even if its long-term impact turns out to be barely discernible.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Even when the narrative loses its footing, Soderbergh manages to keep the piece cohesive enough to make the entire experience very effective and worthwhile.
