'Side Effects'—Soderbergh’s small 2013 thriller about a woman who kills her husband while in an antidepressant-induced sleepwalking haze—quietly meandered into theaters 10 years ago this week. And it toted plenty of unassumingly sexy baggage with it.

—explore sex on a fundamental level; what it means to have it, who wants it, and what they’ll do for it. But things haven’t always been that fundamental.—Soderbergh’s small 2013 thriller about a woman who kills her husband while in an antidepressant-induced sleepwalking haze—quietly meandered into theaters 10 years ago this week. And it toted plenty of unassumingly sexy baggage with it.

Prior to the murder, Emily found herself restless and depressed after Martin’s homecoming. Her despondency comes in short waves—foggy, but potent enough to put Emily so low that she decides to drive her car into a wall. Following her suicide attempt, Emily agrees to see Dr. Jonathan Banks once a week and start taking a new SSRI called Ablixa, in exchange for him not holding her for a psych evaluation. Ablixa does wonders for Emily’s sleep and sex drive.

While all of that is good for Emily, it doesn’t bode well for Dr. Banks, who refused to change Emily’s Ablixa prescription after Martin complained about her first sleepwalking incident. Reporters show up on his doorstep, uncovering allegations about malpractice from a patient in his past, similar to Emily, while an internal investigation leaves him locked out of his swanky Manhattan office.
