This 1980s horror film tries a Shakespearean style but suffers from unnatural dialogue in its modern setting. It features excessive imagery, amateurish camerawork, & over-the-top characters, with only the neglected little boy feeling believable. Many seem to enjoy the film more for its obscurity…
James New lovedPossessionVisceral, intense and graphic filmmaking. Youre right there with the characters during all the mayhem and you feel all and every emotion. Unmatched atmosphere and an understated but great score. Isabelle Adjani gives perhaps one of the best performances of all time, she’s amazing
nevan lovedPossessionan incredible surrealist film that succeeds in every regard as a showcase for horrifically dedicated performances, amazing cinematography, and thought-provoking symbolism. isabelle adjani delivers an all-time great performance that may never be topped. a true horror masterpiece

"Nobody told me that. Well that's why I'm with you, because you say 'I' for me." A rewatch and it's getting even more amazing. One of the most powerful performances of all time, also has some of the best scenes in history. Will probably change to love later. 4/5
Jordan Adragna lovedPossessionAfter my first watch I am left with questions and emotions I’ve yet to bake through. The movie was visceral, scathing, and bleak, in a beautiful kind of way. The absolute helplessness of the relationship is almost mocking, and the grotesque honesty was moving.
Eva D is "meh" onPossessionWhat in the world did I just watch. The main actress was amazing but this movie was a train-wreck. The husband acting was horrific. All of them were obvious on some type of drugs and that poor little boy was neglected by everyone.

found this on a list titled ‘She F*cukes What?!’ and it lived laughed loved up to the title. Lots of milk, lots of screeching, and lots of rewinding because I kept thinking O missed something
Breeze lovedPossessiondeleting all movies I’ve watched, this is the only one that matters, terrifying and so shocking i don’t understand it but I love it, too much milk involved tho but it’s literally amazing 🙁
Santana Beltran dislikedPossessionMaybe the strangest movie I’ve ever seen… which wouldn’t be a negative if there was something rewarding in the end. There wasn’t.

To watch Possession again is to realize that it remains one of the most grueling, powerful, and overwhelmingly intense cinematic experiences that you are likely to have in your lifetime.

There are plenty of movies which seem to have been made by madmen. Possession may be the only film in existence which is itself mad: unpredictable, horrific, its moments of terrifying lucidity only serving to highlight the staggering derangement at its core. Extreme but essential viewing.
