Very interesting and pleasant to watch. Intellectual and intriguing with great performances by Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley and the always amazing Michael Fassbender.
The conversations are very fascinating and it's very interesting to see all of the characters points of view.
David Cronenberg did an excellent historical drama about the human mind.
Had this movie on my list for quite some time. This was very boring and bland. The Russian accent and acting by Knightly was super cringe. The character of Otto is only brought in so Jung can justify sleeping with Sabina. Otherwise pointless.
There's a lot of pretty interesting stuff in here about psychoanalysis. But overall I've never felt a Cronenberg movie was so stylistically bland. There are certain times where an almost clinical level of monotonous filmmaking could kind of work. But overall while I'm not a fan of many of Cronenberg's movies, I can usually appreciate the very unique approach which he brings to any kind of subject, that it felt like he just completely left out of this movie? Maybe that was the point?
Some points for the boy-fight between Jung and Freud.

Killer burn.
I was most interested in wanting to watch this, but I found it extremely boring.
Sadly, I think I was put off by Kiera Knightly’s performance; it was cringeworthy.
It had great potential, but sadly fell extremely short.
It's a good love stoey. The characters act out their emotions and mental conflicts well. What I didn't like is that the acting is lots of times cliche and honestly cringey. The movie feels rushed.
It's amazing how my opinion about the movie drastically changed once I actually did some research about its characters before a rewatch. I had absolutely no idea about any of them or their history, so my first viewing of the movie wasn't an entertaining one. Because if you're as clueless as I was, you wouldn't appreciate the conversations and debates they had as much. But I think my opinion about the directing or rather the editing of the movie remains the same. It could have been better.
Great actors and good script, but the movie does seem to be largest part driven by the conversations the characters have. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can make the movie drag on a bit.
A Good film...Fassbender an oscar definitely awaits for this guy in the future...i have not seen a bad performance from him yet...Fish Tank, Shame, Prometheus...all great
Great! A movie about Jung! Can't wait to watch it.
