The 1960s saw a lot of change in the United States. The CIA's LSD tests, though, managed to escape notice in the middle of all that change. In the psychological thriller MK Ultra, it is explored how drug experiments and self-interest turned out to be smart ideas with evil motives. The Sacrament of Life's writer-director Joseph Sorrentino is fully confident in his vision and has the patience to execute it. MK Ultra is a straightforward thriller that is reminiscent of the paranoia of the 1970s because of the film's consistent tone and performances, which create a recognisable but effective atmosphere.

Dr. ford Strauss (Anson Mount) is trying to acquire funding from the taxpayers for medical LSD testing, but he has no luck. When CIA agent Galvin Morgan (Jason Patric) approaches him, he is unsure whether it is good fortune or blackmail. Dr. Strauss nonetheless consents to accept funding for LSD research from the CIA. A transgender lady, an arsonist, a drug addict, and an animal killer make up the study's cast. The studies start out poorly, but after the doses are changed, Dr. Strauss gradually sees a theory take shape. He is cautioned by a former employee not to become too comfortable with how easily everything has come his way as he is basking in his success. Dr. Strauss starts to question Agent Morgan's morals and the purpose of this whole situation. Dr. Strauss discovers the solutions he seeks and dismantles a mysterious plot.

Excellent tone characterises MK Ultra. The movie doesn't waste any time explaining the history of the characters, which enables viewers to feel the mood of the movie right away. When music is present, it is employed rarely, and the melodies are not loud. The colours are incredibly flat and the lighting is dark, creating an almost creepy sameness. The one decision that doesn't match the tone may be the cinematography. The majority of MK Ultra was shot with handheld cameras, giving it a somewhat contemporary appearance. The handheld approach works better during the more intense parts of the movie. But it's this camera decision that, in the end, gives a deliberately straightforward production design life.
