A Dangerous Method (2011)

This movie started out so well - so fascinating. However, by the end it had become a sentimental relational drama instead of the intriguing psychological drama it was at first. I'm not saying it should have been cold or distant or not discussed the characters' emotions - but I was interested in the scientific advances they were trying to make, not just the question "Will they or won't they have sex?" Disappointing. 3 stars.

Best Part: I was really impressed with Keira Knightley, which is good, because I usually hate her. That was a very pleasant surprise.
Worst Part: The entire last half of the film.
Flickchart: #695, below Moneyball and above Music Within.
