Knightley gives a fair performance but lumbers herself with a distracting accent, and her gurning in the early scenes may be too much for some to bear.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Rotten
The true story is extraordinary; the film is not, although the actors are all fine.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Like psychoanalysis, "A Dangerous Method" takes its time as it circles an opening to unexplored depths.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A Dangerous Method is a suave chamber piece: a series of glimpses of two 20th-century intellectual titans, in friendship and separation, and the story of a remarkable woman who history had swallowed up, brought into the light again.
