Sublimely clever thriller about a depressed young woman named Emily who commits a horrific crime whilst under the influence of a powerful antidepressant. Jude Law is the psychiatrist who tries to help her, and uncovers a dark and terrifying story.
Zeta-Jones pops up now and again as Emily's old therapist in probably one of the weaker performances of her career, and Tatum has a smallish part as Emily's husband, but the whole film is basically centred around Law and Mara who have incredible screen chemistry together. (so pleased to be able to watch Law in something where he isn't playing a violent thug who can't stop swearing).
The film has one of the best twists ever in it, which I am amazed to say I guessed as the film went on and I really had to take a step back and marvel at Soderbergh's fascinating and unique visionary feast.
