David Cronenberg doesn’t always hit home runs, but he makes movies that have a very distinct, sexual tone to them and when it works, it usually works very well. His latest film, A DANGEROUS METHOD looks like he’s managed to capture the sexuality of the story and in the process, bring out the best of stars Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen.

If there was any question about the acting talent of Michael Fassbender, hopefully this will quiet the doubters. Keira Knightley also looks like she gives a great performance and shows she has more range than people thought. If this film is an intense as the trailer, then this might be the first true contender for acting awards next year.
The film is about the relationship that developed between psychiatrist Carl Jung and his Russian-Jewish patient Sabina Spielrein that turned romantic and eventually caused a rift between Jung and his mentor Sigmund Freud.
