A very interesting movie about the beginnings of psychoanalysis. Sounds boring but it's not. I liked it. I say B

"Sometimes you have to do something unforgivable just to be able to go on living." A woman named Sabina Spielrein (Knightley) is not acting "normal" so she is dropped off at the home of Dr. Carl Jung (Fassbender). In order to help her he begins to use his new idea of a "talking cure". As she starts to get better he begins a different type of therapy, but his friend Sigmund Freud (Mortinsen) does not agree with his methods. This is a movie I was really not looking forward to watching. I like the actors but the premise about the "birth of psychoanalysis" is not something I was interested in. Halfway through I was hooked and it did keep me interested the entire time. Once again this is not a movie for everyone, but the acting and story made it a very interesting movie and by the end you have a connection with each character and the "updates" during the credits really seem to add to the movie. Overall, a movie that was much better then anticipated and I do recommend it. I give it a B.
