A Dangerous Method

The actors did a great job. The story was good but needed to be sped up.

Do not waste your money HORRENDOUS

This is an excellent and realistic account of what Freudian psycho therapy was like and it has it's place particularly in todays Psychiatric give a... sycotropic pill after a twenty minute interview then refer them to the real anaylist, the trailing psychologist who may or may not practice real indepth psychotherapy at all. While Viggo Mortensen, plays Freud is in 50% of the movie, he steals the scenes and dominates as he expertly presents Freud's never ending genius. Knightly is as usual excellent and so is Michael Fassbender. A geniusly scripted movie and an excellent period presentation of the turn of the century events in the Lives of these intriguing Pioneers of the dying art of psycho therabpy. If you have little knowledge of these real lives and contributions toward Psychology then you don't really have an opinion! Full Review

This movie hinted at sadomasochism as related to 'father's beatings' and I reject that analysis completely: that means everybody in Europe and America prior to the 60s has an S&M Syndrome because they surely was hit.
