Side Effects




Jean, This is a scary, almost spooky good movie. 
It is about psychiatrists and medicines but much more than that. I was slow to pick up the clues of where they were going with the plot. In the middle of the movie I was a little foggy about the film's direction. You have to buy the ending which of course is something of a big surprise. All the cast are very good, but that Rooney Mara is just plain scary again. I was thinking in terms of "Jagged Edge" and "Fatal Attraction" after seeing this film. Steven Soderberg puts together some really entertaining films.   At the ending you are thinking in terms of seeing it again to clarify what you had seen.  Dad
