Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere is an "Easter egg" in the credits of MK Ultra. Follow the extra letters in words in the opening titles and hidden letters in major scenes of the movie. In the end credits the extra commas in code help finish the hidden message, simple cipher and scramble. Perfect treat to put this in a film like this.
- GoofsDr. Strauss diagnoses Laura with Gender Dysphoria. However, this term wasn't coined until 1973.

Featured review
Dull execution of an interesting subject
At first, I embraced the dry dialog, noir-esque filming style and inconsistent audio as a style choice in trying to make this film seem like it was made in the era of MK Ultra. But as the movie progressed (or should I say plodded along), I realized that there was little to hold on to. Many of the actors in this film were fantastic but were given very little to work with script-wise. The editing of the film, particularly in the final scenes, seemed very disjointed and not as an artistic choice. The addition of historical footage (documentaries, interviews etc) was great but tended to be stretched too long, making things drag along. While many complain about the film being more about the main doctor than MK Ultra, that is not my issue. It was just a poorly assembled film as a whole, despite having so many great components. For a fascinating subject, this film felt like a cinematic lobotomy. Wanted to like it but I just can't.
