A Dangerous Method3 Out Of 5A Dangerous Method is a plot driven dramatic tale featuring the most complex relationship possible in the most simple way possible; a swing and a miss since the concept had an enormous amount of potential. The taboo subjects that are explored in here barely scratches the surface, to a point, that it makes you feel cheated as for the rest of the feature the subject is left to rot out on the corner of the shelf. The conversations are wise and explicitly written but unfortunately isn't as layered and thought-provoking as it thinks it is. Cronenberg's world in here is all bourgeois as far as it is investing on setting the sub-plot of each character, and when the scrutiny finally hits, all it can draw out from its audience is a mere nod, no matter how genuine. It is rich on technical aspects like stunning costume design, mesmerizing visuals and perfect editing. The chemistry among the characters is one of its strength especially between Mortensen and Fassbender; a real delight to see them go head to head on screen. Cronenberg; the director, is on his A game in each frame of the feature as the soul and kind-hearted suave tone communicates fluently with the audience. Knightly's performance is laborious which may be appreciative but certainly not enchanting as it was aspired to be. Fassbender is vulnerable and struggles through itself in an apt portrayal of his but the real show-stealer is Mortensen in his poised and arrogant walks that speaks more than the words. The production design and background score could have been a lot better. Pragmatic conversations and fast paced adapted screenplay are the only high points of this feature. A Dangerous Method is actually a sheltered and secured pathos methodology that never visits its third dimension which had the correct answer.

Keira Knightley is awful in this, totally overacting it and almost caricaturing the role in the process. She ought to stick to comedy or something, anything but this. Viggo Mortensen has no air or authority about his role at all. Michael Fassbender is actually asleep throughout the entire movie. Sarah Gadon is a blinding light in the darkness, but sadly unable to light the way through as the darkness is too strong. The dialogue is absolutely painful, with some bits embarrassingly inappropriate. Knightley's character claiming she "got wet" instead of saying she was aroused? The editor wants shot for that remark alone. The breast shots are totally gratuitous as they lend nothing to the story and in fact detract from it. Finally, there are some pretentious conversations between Yung and Freud, but nothing at all that explains either their friendship nor their breaking up. All in all a dire film, no wonder no-one watched it and it made a huge loss.

Well,what can you expect when even the title is provocative and populist's. For a movie that reflects a critically important period in the science history, it could've offered way closer and more systematic look at the freiudism or at least at its certain aspects. You don't have to be a genius to suppose this mass-oriented picture would most possibly evolve around sex and never show a viewer other sides of Freud's innovative work. But who knew it would end up being about aping Keira Knightley and soapy relationships. The narrow way of analyzing Jung and Freud's polemic is another disappointment. I usually enjoy Cronenberg's works,but imo he's chosen the wrong issue this time. If you dare to visualize such complicated substance(and adopt it for a wide audience), you do it carefully and respectfully, instead of converting it into a medium-quality drama.

I was disappointed in this film. I thought I would find out more about the relationship between Freud and Jung and the cause of their split. The parts were played very well by Fassbender and Mortenson but too much was glossed over. Instead we had Keira Knightley pulling faces and sticking her chin out in a way that made the scenes difficult to watch. Even when she was not being hysterical she was awkward and out of her depth. She spoilt the film. When on screen you were always aware she was acting. Some scenes seemed to be added for no particular reason ie why was the wife doing a question answer session with her husband whilst Keira played with a metal instrument? All the information I wanted to get from this film I will have to go and find out from other sources.
