Nov 12, 2018 While watching this movie, I felt as if I was reading a good poem.

Kylo R Aug 19, 2018 David Cronenberg's interesting look at psychoanalysis.

Hagrid S Aug 8, 2018 a sheltered and secured pathos methodology.. A Dangerous Method 3 Out Of 5 A 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. See more

Theodore G Apr 10, 2018 Exceptionally filmed and masterfully acted. David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Methrod is a simultaneously brilliant and frustrating. The engaging true story and the characters that inhabit it are wonderfully brought to life by Fassbender, Mortensen, and Knightley. Cassell and Gadon are also great in smaller roles but those three utterly grab you with their enthralling portrayals of complex real subjects. Cronenberg's direction while not overtly flashy, is workmanlike in its swift effectiveness. The film is ultimately let down by it's jumpy narrative structure. Some of the transitions are jarring and ultimately the edit and 90 minute runtime leave the viewer a bit cold. This is a story that would have benefited from a more focused, fleshed out narrative. However, the film ultimately comes out as a solid addition to Cronenberg's later day filmography. It is absolutely worth seeing. See more

Luke L Jan 27, 2018 (5.0 out of 6)- Sexual Singularity Exploration When we don't know whats wrong with those who are wrong in the head. When we do know what's right with those who are right in the head. When we do know what's right to conceive to know what's wrong with giving those not what they want. When we know everything else is alright to not feel right. When we don't know what's wrong to do what feels right when it's natural to only feel wrong of what it means. When we know what's wrong when its not right to be wronged like that. When we know all what we discuss for the matter of science is right to know such break throughs and news is welcome. When we know what is wrong to do to know that others are experiencing new sensations that can't tell whether they are right and wrong to be conflicted. When we know what is only wrong to follow what is right when following orders and institutions is the right way. When exploration of what is right and wrong we know what yet needs to be studied when what's wrong with the mind has further exploration to explore. When we know what feels right that comes from the heart to know what's wrong that comes from the mind we know there are plenty of exploration of science has yet to study in what it doesn't know about everything. When what we know what such experiences brings we don't know what other experiences will bring to not know what is right or wrong when society has already given us the standards of right and wrong to follow. When what others know is wrong to crossover we see they know feels right, when such appetites want more wrong then right. When what is wrong we need to know if it feels right when what other things feels right about what we feel we need to explore other things for the sake of science. When what others know what is wrong to feel wrong looking wrong for others. When we know all to well those who explore what's wrong for the sake of science to not know where others stand. When we can try to make right the wrongs we know we commited to not know we haven't done anything wrong in what is natural. When what exploration we know is wrong to know others will see it's wrong when exploration in the unknown can feel wrong even though our heart knows it's right. When what exploration we know is wrong to explore when integrity of reputations are at stake we see it's wrong to discredit others with no scientific basis but discredit others when their is no merit when their actions were wrong to persue. When we explore other things we don't know for scientific truth, we see we need to know about the rights and wrongs of women that haven't gone explored. When we don't know what is right and wrong for those who try to get in the scientific field we do know they challenge what we don't know what is right and wrong about life. When such explorations we know we can't leave alone when science demands to know the truth to only return to such scientific breakthroughs for further study when it's right. When what science we know to be true we see it's only right to live and explore out even when it's wrong. When what rights and wrongs we explore and discover we see that there is a greater right and wrong we yet don't know exists yet that explains what we greatly don't know. When explorations are gateways we don't know to only know what other gateways we don't know exists and how many are countless to know what's right and wrong is endless in what we don't know yet. When what others know is not right to only keep fighting for our views and exploring new ways to make others see what's right and what's wrong to explore together. When we know exploration can't last long with others when they conflict with two truths to know what's right and wrong can leave us feeling wrong in the end. When we know exploration of the heart and mind with others is what equivalates our righteousness to be together that no placebo can replace, to know we are alone in science unless we know we found our doppelganger. When we know exploration done together to discover what is truth is right to only find out that one loses interest in such studies to leave those exploring alone is wrong. See more

Hagrid R Nov 22, 2017 Well filmed, above average dialogue, sprawling, it never comes together tidily, but there's a lot to it.
