A crafty teaser that presents itself as one kind of film before gradually evolving into another kind altogether. I, for one, enjoyed both enormously.

It will both keep you on your toes and at the edge of your seat.

Side Effects was shot on digital video that makes it look as if we're peering through dirty glass, but it's still a lavishly dread-fueled suspense movie full of twists, reversals, double crosses, and dangerous liaisons.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The film as a whole is consistently enjoyable and sometimes thrilling, a classic Soderbergh showcase for provocative storytelling and marvelous acting.

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

The movie maintains its sense of style throughout, but that hardly matters as the story just gets stupider and stupider.

Mark Jenkins, NPR

The film keeps viewers emotionally invested yet intellectually off-balance, suffusing even the most ostensibly straightforward scenes with a sense of free-floating anxiety.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Sex, lies, and violence.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Side Effects has the sleek, chic look of a Soderbergh film -- cool colors, seductive lighting -- but the script, by frequent collaborator Scott Z. Burns, is disappointingly clunky.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday

A pill-popping drama that suddenly turns into something entirely different.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

Soderbergh, in what's rumored to be his final theatrical release (don't believe it), jumps from imitating the master to imitating the master imitators.

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

The fun of Side Effects lies in figuring out what sort of movie it is even as you're watching it.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

The movie respects a viewer's intelligence, which should also serve as a warning don't be lulled into a stupor. Keeping sharp will allow all the fun and menace in this terrific thriller to seep into your head.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

A doozy of a Hitchcockian thriller with Jude Law, Rooney Mara and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Effects is a go-for-broke valentine to '80s cinematic psychological potboilers.

Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News

This neatly executed mystery is just the sort of thing Hollywood craves from Steven Soderbergh: genre entertainment as cool, clean, and impersonal as a Formica countertop.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

The director who came into the field with Sex, Lies, and Videotape leaves it with sex and lies shot on video, still surprising us with both the stories he tells and the stories hidden inside them.

James Rocchi, MSN Movies

Provides a minor but distinct kind of cinematic pleasure: the joy of sitting back and letting a master manipulator mess with your head.

Dana Stevens, Slate

While the plot may be predictable (and more than a little preposterous) in retrospect, Mr. Soderbergh handles it brilliantly, serving notice once again that he is a crackerjack genre technician.

A.O. Scott, New York Times

Side Effects goes to unexpected places, and we breathlessly follow along.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It's the kind of thriller that Alfred Hitchcock might make if he was still alive and active today.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Burns' plotting gets a little knotty in the third act, but he's a smart writer, who has a knack for juggling an array of characters of varying intelligence and varying corruption levels.

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

Soderbergh came, he saw, he conquered, and now he's moving on.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The movie descends into a TV-grade police procedural, with twists so sharp and a plot so convoluted you may need meds to clear your head.

Scott Bowles, USA Today

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.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

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.

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

It's a gripping, maddening and thoroughly satisfying thriller, made with artfulness and integrity.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

We'd like to believe that our SSRIs and MAOIs will bring us happiness, that love is real, that art or spirituality can offer transcendence. Steven Soderbergh would like to remind us that it's all a trick, and we're on our own.
