AvClub: From her breakout roles in Bend It Like Beckham and The Pirates Of The Caribbean onward, Keira Knightley has exuded a no-muss, effortless charm that catapulted her to fame. Then in 2007, she scratched that surface to reveal a slightly darker layer of conflicted emotions in Atonement. In David Cronenberg’s latest film, A Dangerous Method (scripted by Atonement screenwriter Christopher Hampton), she plays Sabina Spielrein, a woman deeply uncomfortable in her own skin who becomes Carl Jung’s patient and lover.
