The story involves a young woman (Rooney Mara) whose troubling anxiety leads her to seek therapy under the case of a New York psychiatrist (Jude Law), who prescribes her a new, experimental medication that drives her further into emotional turmoil. Playing Mara's husband (and a source of her anxiety) is Soderbergh's new best friend Channing Tatum.
Soderbergh has had his share of fun on the big screen for sure: the director has dealt the world the lighthearted Oceans trilogy, the uplifting Erin Brokovich, and the dark but hilarious The Informant!, among others... including this year's action masterpiece Haywire, which the director discusses in depth here. But he's a natch at tormenting drama: Bubble, Che, Contagion, and his feature debut sex, lies, and videotapehave all exhibited the artist's flair for capturing human sobriety. From the looks of the poster and recent trailer, Side Effects isn't veering too far from that path.
