A Dangerous Method

A DANGEROUS METHOD (2011) - Jan. 14, 2012
A really well made but kind of disappointing film about Carl Jung's complicated relationship with one of his patients, and his friendship with Sigmund Freud.  The film is very well acted, particularly Michael Fassbender and Viggo Mortensen as Jung and Freud.  However, it's kind of slow, and extremely talky -- I don't believe it originated as a play, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did (okay, I just checked, and not surprisingly it did start as a play).  It does sort of feel a bit disjointed (it's basically one scene after another of people sitting around talking to each other), however it's well made and well acted enough that it is worth watching.  **1/2
