Anthony Hopkins only gets better. I don't think I've ever not been fascinated by a Hopkins performance. The dialogue was so complex, and the storytelling even more. I found myself confused a lot. I know of Sigmund, but I barely know any of his work or life. I learnt a little, but it definitely could have been more clearer, and if it wasn't that, then it would be the editing. The director really liked his up close, fast cut away shots. I don't know if they're the right words, but it felt rushed and slightly flat at times. The design and cinematography in some scenes though was incredible. I could feel the horror or cluelessness. All in all, it's definitely interesting enough to watch, but mostly because of Anthony Hopkins, the score, and psychology. I loved the debates of life's most debatable questions. Religion, relationship, sex, death, life. All without offence, if anything it complimented belief and what life is. At the end of the day, nobody knows.
