Effets secondaires

Porté par des mouvements de caméras élégants et précis, à la fois enveloppants et angoissants, le récit ménage de nombreuses surprises, mais aussi un coup de théâtre qui risque de faire ricaner quelques spectateurs.

If Soderbergh is indeed retiring, this will be his swan song in the movie theaters, and a not entirely inappropriate one-- the crisp digital cinematography, fine performances and air of cynicism about the modern world are perfectly Soderberghian.

Il n'y a pas à dire, l'emballage est superbe et hyper léché, mais le cadeau, lui, l'est beaucoup moins.

I don't want to say too much more, since 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.

Comment résister à ce thriller aussi troublant que divertissant?

Soderbergh has sent out Side Effects with a memorable sting in its tail. There is a side effect to this movie, but it's one that I think most film junkies can live with: You can't get it out of your head.

I don't fault it for trying to be nimble with its twists, but there is such a thing as one (or two or three) twist too many.

Steven Soderbergh's final feature (for a while, anyway) is a lushly made but unconvincing thriller with a serious overlay about the dangers of prescription drugs.
