Nice to see some new David Cronenberg, even if it's a film about psychoanalysis. Let's be honest, it's not the most cinematic of subjects and while the film has its moments it is a very dry affair.

I hear a lot of fuss kicked up over Keira Knightley. I've never had much of a problem with her and even in early scenes playing her most crazy she never bothered me that much. She certainly has the more interesting character.


Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender get a few nice scenes together. Unfortunately the film is as clinical and distant as the characters. Handsomely made but not entirely satisfying. Well the good news is there's more Cronenberg on the way.
