George and Joyce lead parallel lives in alternate worlds. In each of those lives, George embarks on a relationship with Joyce, sometimes more successfully than others. George also becomes increasingly aware of his alternate lives, not only of Joyce in each of them, but what he carries of himself between each of those lives. In one of those lives, he is the most recent homicide victim in a rash of B&E's. In his case, he is the first victim where nothing of monetary value has been stolen, but only his brain removed from his skull and taken from the crime scene. The lead police investigators, Inspector Berkley and Detective Williams, although sometimes at odds with each other, eventually come to the conclusion that the murder has something to do with brain research, and that George may have been targeted rather than a random victim. In addition to Berkley and Williams' investigation and discovering the identity of the murderer, the alternate question becomes how this situation fits in with George's lives as a collective, especially as it relates to Joyce.

| Film ScoutsJason GorberIn short, Lepage's film suffers from being dry - both in terms of character and subject matter. It remains a watchable and interesting work, yet I see the film more as what could have been rather than what it turned out to be. |
| User ReviewDale ZOne of the greatest shows I've seen seen, beautifully filmed and it's Canadian! |
| User ReviewLupus DAn absolutely gorgeous movie. Director Robert Lepage is an absolute genius. I think this is the greatest transfer of a stageplay to film I've ever seen. Tilda Swinton did a fantastic job. |
| User ReviewBojana BI suppose the reason for not being credited is a mistake with mic that is always in the scene throughout the whole movie. It's about 2 worlds - one possibility! Very twisted crime story with a lot of beautifuly written dialogs. Tilda Swinton makes this movie a lot stronger, and I think that this one should have got a lot more credits because it's really special. A masterpiece by Robert Lepage that everyone should take a look at! |
| User ReviewEmily IHoly crap, you have to watch this movie around the same time you see What the Bleep. Something is happening... |

| User ReviewJimmy TInteresting film. Lepage is a great director - better in theatre - but this movie sets the background for eternal sunshine |
| User ReviewShaun AA visual and cerebral challenge of a film. If you get any of it, then you and me can chat for hours. |
| User ReviewMali JMeni se film izuzetno svideo. I prica, i kako je slikan, neka fantasticna pretapanja, atmosfera. Lepage-ov drugi film koji gledam u roku od tri dana (posle "The Far Side of the Moon") i veceras sam odmah stavio da skidam Le Confessionnal. Toliko o impresijama. |
| User ReviewPrivate UPoignant, hypnotic, and somewhat mind-bending. Possible Worlds is a humanistic look at love and choice through the lens of a existential/sci-fi pretext. Love it. |
