Incredible, truly incredible. A delight from start to finish
Best movie this year so far. 100%. Doubt anything will top this one.

shareI liked the stark mood, mind-bending ideas, bold visual style, good performances, ambiguity and unpredictability of plot.
I wasn’t so keen on the gratuitously puke-inducing violence, nor the lack of identifiable characters. David Cronenberg usually gives us a Seth Brundle or Tom Stall to root for and take us on their journey. Was there anyone in Possessor I cared about? Nope. Tasya Vos was a cold fragmented sociopath and while I had some sympathy for her unwitting host he also became a scarred, broken, angry killer.
Give us a lifeline next time mini-Cronenberg!
I didn't care for it much.
A messy narrative, distant and dull characters, the violence and nudity weren't that extreme for my tastes (I'd heard this was brutal and hard to watch), the cinematography wasn't that great.
I'm not seeing what's special about it. To each their own.
