Full Plot Details

During a secretive business trip away, Mark learns that his wife Anna is growing restless in what he believed was their happy marriage. Upon his return home, he learns from her that she wants a divorce. They both go through a series of different emotions related to their situation, Mark's which is generally obsessive about learning why Anna, who he still loves, wants the divorce, and Anna's which is generally increasingly histrionic in getting away from Mark. Caught in the middle is their infant son Bob, who Mark uses as a gage to Anna's mental state. Anna states that her want for the divorce is not because of another man, but Mark finds out that Anna has a lover named Heinrich. In the meantime, Mark also meets Bob's teacher Helen, who looks exactly like Anna, but is her polar opposite in temperament. Starting a relationship with Helen lessens his obsession with Anna. But as Mark and Anna's encounters together reach more emotional and violent levels, Mark, with help of a private investigative firm, learns that Anna's love life is not all that it appears. Anna's true obsession has a somewhat gruesome process and nothing will stop her from reaching her end goal.

Movie Reviews

Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonSo unabashedly romantic and passionately goofy that it not only confirms LaBute as one of America's great talents but also clocks in as one of the year's best American films.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeIf the idea sounds drier than James Bond's martini that's because you haven't seen Possession.
Journal News (Westchester, NY) - 9/10 by Marshall FineA captivating excursion in which a fascination with literary academia spawns a lushly romantic tale that's impossible to resist.
Houston Community Newspapers - 9/10 by Gary BrownA poignant love story of two couples interwoven between the present and 1859 England.
Norman Transcript - 9/10 by Jim ChastainAt first, I was critical of the cold and lifeless relationship between Roland and Maud. But, upon greater reflection, I realized that was exactly the point.
Cinema em Cena - 9/10 by Pablo VillaçaA idéia do amor trágico soa romântica para estes casais, o que é curioso. Mas, no geral, o filme é extremamente enfadonho.
About.com - 9/10 by Rebecca MurrayThere's nothing harried or rushed about the editing - the story builds naturally and with a steady rhythm all its own.
eFilmCritic.com - 9/10 by James E. LaczkowskiOn the outside looking in with not much possession on the part of the viewer. Possibly LaBute's weakest and most languid film to date.
Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenTo the film's credit, the Victorian era is seen as sexier than our own.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Susan StarkCatch your breath, kindred spirits: Possession is the most romantic movie to come our way since The English Patient.
