Review of A Dangerous Method (2011) by Axel K — 29 Aug 2012

I had so high expecations in this film from the trailer, which all got destroyed with seeing the movie. Fassbender, Mortensen and Knigthley play ineffectual and the Golden Globe nomination for Mortensen shows again how bad these awards are.

Knightley plays her role over the top and ends out being noncredible. The story is only halfway there and mixes these two psychoanalysts and these unfitting sado-maso-story, which is probably only there to make the film more interesting.

This is the case in the trailer but not in the movie, which actually is one of the most boring movies in the 21st century by now. Silly dialogues, leap in times from 1 year after only one minute of speaking and so on.

It's not that worse but definitely not worth to watch. It doesn't thrill, it doesn't touch, it's not even a real love story.
