Side Effects

Drama, Intrigue
4 stars
Clever film with lots of twists and turns.  Rooney Mara (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) stars as a depressed girl who seeks help from psychiatrist Jude Law after her husband, Channing Tatum, is released from a white-collar prison.  I can't really tell you anymore without giving it away.  The film does bring into question the powerful antidepressants that the pharmaceutical companies push on us, but there is so much more to the story.  Catherine Zeta-Jones co-stars as Mara's former shrink in this clever and intriguing Steven Soderbergh Film.
