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. »

« Comment résister à ce thriller aussi troublant que divertissant? »

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

« 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. »

« 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. »

« 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 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. »

« 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. »
