"Side Effects," Steven Soderbergh's final theatrical offering before retirement, is out in theaters this weekend, which is good news for people who like good movies. The film -- a twisty thriller about a depressed young woman (Rooney Mara) who commits a crime after being prescribed some mood-altering drugs by her psychiatrist (Jude Law) -- is easily the week's standout release and one of the first great films of 2013.
With "Side Effects" unspooling at theaters now, HuffPost Entertainment is happy to debut a behind-the-scenes look at the film, which details how society's growing reliance on prescription drugs helped build a foundation for the film.
"I really loved the idea that [screenwriter Scott Burns] took a social issue -- a very zeitgeist-y issue -- and used it as a Trojan Horse to hide a thriller inside it," Soderbergh said during a special screening of the film last month.
