Possessor (2020)
6/10
Great concept, poor execution.
18 January 2021
Cronenberg Jr. had the right idea, and his visuals were stunning - albeit the gore borderline overboard-cheesy, but his writing was riddled with plot and technical issues, and the ending was disappointing, forgettable and not worth the runtime's wait. There were also far too many convoluted scenes as well as many long, unnecessary and dragged out ones. The acting, cinematography and score were decent. The pacing was horribly slow, that the 103 min runtime felt like 3+ hours. This film needed faster pacing, and to be cut down to about 80 mins, with more clarity in the writing - especially the ending. Maybe dad should've given the screenplay a once-over to avoid such amateur errors. It's a generous 6/10 from me.
