Confusing but visceral, unique and enticing
Possession is an artfully shot, profoundly unsettling film about change, despair, and the deterioration of human relationships. Great stuff.
I watched Sam Neil torture himself and be unhinged, this Movie is shot very well
I felt the plot and story were pretty hard to follow, even after looking up explanations. Amazing acting and cinematography though.
Waited a longtime to see this, didnt fully meet the high expectations I had. But a solid mind feck none the less.
An unnatural masterpiece that will blow your mind apart. Neill and Adjani have the most destructive chemistry. It will haunt you for weeks.
What...the...heck...lol Very disturbing, but it has a lot to say about toxic relationships and questions about God. Probably watch alone.
One of my all time favs. Amazing acting matched with a dreary uncomfortable atmosphere has led me to rewatch it countless times.
Great early 80s aesthetics. Family drama about infidelity, but cold war spy thriller, also sexual body horror. Confusing to say the least.
Solid acting with some crazy scenes that stick with you. A bit confusing and drawn out at times.
