John H 2025 already. This is not a current movie. In Possession, you are invited into two worlds. Both today’s and also an earlier time where certain relationships were not fashionable. What emerges is a duet of love stories . . . each plausible. Both sets of players could be real, their lives entirely possible in their own periods. The earlier romance somewhat complicated for obvious reasons. The current romance complicated by a society with confused standards at times. You may identify with any of the major characters. I did. With two of them. Scene changes were magical at times, submerged in perfect background music which lifted the plotline throughout. Nice pace. Interesting plotlines. Nicely re-written for the screen. Everything ‘happenable’. And this continued to be exciting until the bitter end. “Bitter’, as you will find, leaving you to clench your fists as the love message is left to the wind. I hesitate to admit that even as a guy, the movie revealed me to be more of a romantic than I expected. I enjoyed this production to the extent that I bought the hardback later. Four stars is an honest appraisal. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Lanfranco C Traveling in the past, but with a little boredom. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Alec B A mostly boring romance and mystery. It's a shame that the recurring theft of primary source documents doesn't really go anywhere. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review colin m Boring movie retracing the love life of some poet. Uninteresting stuff. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Radheshwari S This is one of my all-time favourite movies. Maybe because it is full of that intense romantic mood I still believe is so close to pure Heaven on Earth. It's about poets, lovers and Eternity. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review John H 2021 now. This is not a current movie. In Possession, you are invited into two worlds. Both today's and also an earlier life where certain relationships, even at that time, were unique. What emerges is a duet of love stories . . . each plausible. Both sets of players could be real, their lives entirely possible in their own times. The earlier romance somewhat complicated for obvious reasons. The recent romance complicated by established and accepted social mores. You may identify with any of the five characters. I did. With two of them. And this continued to be exciting until the bitter end. 'Bitter', as you will find, entirely apropos. I blush to admit that -even as a guy- this movie reveals me to be a hopeless romantic. Thoroughly enjoyed this production to extent that I purchased the hardback book afterwards. Four stars is an honest appraisal. Nice pace. Interesting plotline(s). Nicely re-written for the screen. Everything 'happenable'. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/21 Full Review Read all reviews
