An unbelievable performance from Kierra. I was super shocked how in character she was for this entire role. Both Fassbender as well as Mortensen were pretty fantastic as well. The slower scenes with powerful dialogue really captured me, much like a Tarrintino film. I suggest it if your at all curious about these 3 actors abilities, psychology, sex, or human purpose.

Brilliant.

I was bored out of my mind

Regimented and staid piece by Cronenberg. Not as visually provocative as some of his previous works that involve fluids, sex metaphors and body horror. Despite lacking trademark visceral punches, it is very tight and interesting piece of work. The narrative is character driven and structured via pivotal conversations/moments between characters. It is a piece where dialogue delivers the action in a slow and steady fashion.

An excellent film that presents Jung's developing concepts, as well as the reasons behind the Jung/Freud split. Freud really had a mean superiority complex at work throughout his life, and was obsessed with his own sexual complexes (which he - unfortunately - projected onto his theories/concepts). Keira Knightley... overacting, as per usual. But, beyond all that, this film is visually beautiful and rich in content.

The film started out well. Exquisite attention to detail on the turn of the century accoutrements. Keira Knightley was disturbingly convincing at being mentally disturbed (at one point I thought she was going to dry heave out an alien... well, this is a Cronenberg film!). The cast was excellent - Mortensen, Fassbender, Cassel, and Knightley, too (she is truly talented). Their material, however, was unfortunately lacking. The storyline ran out of gas, eventually sputtering to a snooze.

This is not a light movie. It is a serious topic, based on fact, with stellar performances, especially Kiera Knightly. Sexually abused by her father, Sabina is taken to Carl Jung for treatment. Through modern therapy she is 'cured'. Eventuallhy Sabina becomes Jung's lover. The relationship between Freud and Jung is explored as well as the conflicts between the two psychoanalysists. You must be in the mood for this movie.

An intellectual film featuring an excellent cast. Keira Knightley is a patient (Sabina Spielrein) of Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) who becomes his assistant and later Sigmund Freud's (Viggo Mortensen). Set mostly in Austria (lovely) this movie will challenge your mind as the characters challenge each other's.

Hot doctors sublimate their passion for one another in conflict over a female patient. This latter role calls for a first rate actress to hold the story together; but we get Kiera Knightly with a zees and zose accent. If you're interested in the history of psychiatry and human sexuality, you could read a couple books. Or, okay, you could watch Freud with David Suchet, which is longer but better written.

Super boring.
