Possession evaluation action
2022-03-18 08:01
"Possession" received a mix of well-founded and sincere praise from critics, as well as well-documented and sincere criticism. The former, represented by "Premier" magazine, gave the film a good evaluation, on the grounds that director Neil LaBute handled the two narrative clues of the past and the present very skillfully, making the two clues blend very naturally, which is also the reason. It is the crux of the film, and it is hard work if you can handle it well; the latter directly pointed out that Rabout brought the cold and weird style of directing an independent film into the film, and the audience can feel that the film is in order not to fall. Into the clichés of romance films, I have been deliberately avoiding sensational elements, but this kind of treatment inevitably makes people feel that the development of the relationship between the two protagonists is too jumpy
