Summary of A Dangerous Method

In 1904, a Russian woman named Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley) arrives at Carl Jung's (Michael Fassbender) clinic, seeking treatment for hysteria. Jung is eager to test Sigmund Freud's (Viggo Mortensen) theories on Sabina, and, in fact, successfully treats her. Two years later, Jung and Sabina meet Freud in person, and Jung takes over the treatment of Otto Gross. Gross' influence leads Jung to begin an affair with Sabina, contributing to a rift with Freud.

93 minutes that feel like forever.
The performances are superb but the film doesn't hold up to nothing.
Another David Cronenberg fascinating movie
Stylized, provocative and superbly acted, A Dangerous Method might be far from being Cronenberg's best movie, but it's still intriguing and clever.
Likely to see
Not for me
