Movie Reviews of Possession
Movie Review: Possession - the movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I had rented this movie several times and decided I liked it enough to own it. I really fell in love with the intertwined stories - very moving and continues to hold my interest. The couple in present time are researching the couple from an older time. Each segment seems true to the characters and the characters from the past (the actors are great) are very convincing. I found this lovely. I also decided to buy the book, which is a best seller, because I wanted to embrace it at a higher level.Movie Review: A wonder of a movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say that I am generally not interested in watching a romance movie, but this movie is a definite exception. It "Possessed" a great soundtrack that fit the scenes perfectly, captivating scenery that is incredible, and a cast that perfectly fits the mold of the story. From beginning to end it was an absolute success of a complete movie. It piques the curiosity, it warms the heart, and it even manages to make you feel slightly better about life after watching it. buy it, you won't regret it.Movie Review: The only movie that lived up to the book!

A S Byatt's book, "Possession: A Romance" is one of my most favorite books. The beautiful pace, two stories combined into one, two dreamy romances, all made the book deserve the Booker it got.
Now, films based on movies are a tricky business. I try to avoid them. This one defies the norms. It captures the essence of the book and infact gives an interesting spice to a few of the characters.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys literature, beauty and love.
Movie Review: Terrific
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't expect this to be a faithful rendering of the book, because it's not a weeklong mini-series, it's a 2-hour feature film. It captures the spirit, magic, passion and obsession of the novel while thankfully stripping away much that is boring and slow. I loved the novel, but that was despite its flaws. I would never re-read it as I have true masterpieces like Middlemarch, but I've seen Possession three times and fall more and more in love with it. Every performance is perfect.Movie Review: A Beautiful Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a pleasant suprise to me. The acting was top notch, with Gwyneth Paltrow obviously standing out. The other characters were well-acted as well, although Christabelle Lamont's character looked suspiciously like Meryl Streep, but it was all good. The story, in my opinion, was extremely interesting. It kept me on the edge of my seat and kept me wanting to find out more about the secretive affair. Overall, a great movie that I feel was overlooked by many, undeservingly.
