Review of A Dangerous Method (2011) by Aaron B — 22 Aug 2012
While its highly sexual subject matter may deter some audience members from going the distance, at its core A Dangerous Method is a sincere and dedicated look at two of psychology's most influential figures.
Knightley, Fassbender, and Mortensen are all in complete command of their roles; the natural chemistry between the three of them is by far the film's greatest strength. David Cronenberg could have reduced this narrative to one of erotic drama, but he instead invests much of the film's 100 minute length in the intricacies of mental medicine and the very evolution of psychosis.
Regardless of enjoyment, this is one that will stay with you.
