Review of A Dangerous Method (2011) by Alex R — 31 Mar 2012

David Croneberg's A Dangerous Method takes a look at the birth of psychoanalysis. A Dangerous Method is an engaging period drama with a terrific cast. Every actor here is perfect for the parts they play.

Keira Knightley gives one of the most eccentric and unsettling performances of her career. Michael Fassbender as usual delivers a great performance. A Dangerous Method is a great period piece that recounts the birth of psychoanalysis.

Cronenberg has made a career out of the body horror genre, but this is a very different departure for Cronenberg. I very much enjoyed the film, and though the story was suffering a bit, the acting is what made this film watchable.

Brilliantly acted and directed, A Dangerous Method is a film that recount an important event in the field of psychology. The film has some effective dramatic moments that make this film stand out. The performances are a key reason to why this film is so good.

Add to that a very good story and you have a memorable film worth watching. I thought that this film was fairly underrated and thought it deserved a lot more acclaim. This is one of David Cronenberg's best films since eXistenZ.

If you're a fan of Croneberg's work, then check out A Dangerous Method. Of all the films that David Cronenberg has made, this is one of his more accessible works. Brilliantly acted with an engaging plot, A Dangerous Method is a powerful drama that is a definite must see.
