"Placebo" is a contemporary comedy of academia and written by Melissa James Gibson and directed by Susanna Rinehart.

In this sharply funny and knowing portrait of human relationships and the agonies of academia, Louise is a doctoral candidate working on a placebo-controlled study of a new drug to enhance female sex drive; her partner Jonathan is a Classics scholar struggling to complete his dissertation on Pliny the Elder; Mary, a participant in Louise’s study, is desperate to right the ship of her marriage; and fellow researcher Tom is questioning the value of studying aural stimulation.

Gibson gives us a compelling and hilarious exploration of our search for purpose versus subsistence, of desire versus self-doubt, and the stories we tell ourselves as we are "stalking happiness with a machete".
