My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

A Dangerous Method (2011)

David Cronenberg directs an adaption of Christopher Hampton’s play The Talking Cure about the psycho-therapy triangle between Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud and Sabina Spielrein.   The film stars Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen and Keira Knightley.  Quiet and steady, this is an enjoyable film with fine performances from everyone involved.  The production design is flawless in that it takes you back in time to a time when madness was thought incurable.  Grade: A-
