Review of A Dangerous Method (2011) by Enrica C — 05 Dec 2012

A very intense journey through Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis. "A Dangerous Method" is a wonderful movie that got me interested pretty soon; it's really well written and well explained. Shooting locations are lovely. The soundtrack feels just right. And both Mortensen and Fassbender did a fantastc job. What let me down was Knightley's acting: she just wasn't right for the part, and I don't see how Cronenberg didn't see that -- In my opinion she was just too young to play Sabina Spielrein. And that's probably the one and only thing I'd change about this movie.

I honestly found it really interesting, well balanced. Complex, but yet really linear and with just the right amount of details. It kind of felt real. Dialogues felt real too, and it was just a pleasure to hear them speak. Just please don't ask me to watch Keira Knightley do those trange faces yet again. That said, the movie is absolutely worth a watch or two.
