Review of A Dangerous Method (2011) by Jerry K — 30 Mar 2012
If a film deals with the professional and personal relationship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung and their patient-turned psychiatrist Sabina Spielrein, you would expect it to be especially cerebral with overlays of dormant sexuality and sexual repression. This film does not disappoint.
In its effort to tell a convoluted tale of friendship soured, anger, lust and insanity this is a hulking lumbering golem of a film which contains much more talking than action.
"A Dangerous Method" will not be everyone's cup of borscht. Performances by a talented A list cast are thoughtful and nuanced; in Ms. Knightley's case, her performance is simply amazing.
Watch at your own risk, but don't bother if you are looking for a substitute for "Hunger Games!".
