A look at how the intense relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud gives birth to psychoanalysis.

So this is the 3rd film I have seen from Cronenberg, the other two being his other two newest films, and this one is weaker than both. It is definitely a good film worth seeing, but it never really went anywhere very interesting. However, for what it is, it is well-written and directed, and with good performances. The only one who rises above is Knightley, who is always fascinating to watch, even when she takes some risky and bold turns with her performance that do not pay off, she is the biggest reason to watch this. Still, definitely prefer both A History of Violence and Eastern Promises and do not see this getting much nominations since it isn't a film that most will love.
