This movie was actually insane and really messes with your mind. Some of the visuals towards the end of the movie are going to stick with me for a while, very unsettling. It leaves you asking a lot of questions, but not in a frustrating way. I'm looking forward to watching videos about it and reading analysis/reviews, just a really captivating movie. I was very impressed with Christopher Abbott in this, although I had to look up IMDB half-way through because I thought it was Kit Harrington (every single time ). He's reallly impressive and has to sell his character being controlled by another person for a good portion of the movie. Just the range of emotions he had to go through and perform and he nailed it all, very awesome performance. Andrea Riseborough is also excellent. Highly recommend this film, it's never dull at all and the story felt super original. Brandon Cronenberg's direction is ace.

Agreed that Possessor is super good. It is very unsettling at times and creepy but it’s so good.

Brandon Cronenberg’s most recent film Infinity Pool is also very good, and even more bizarre and unsettling than Possessor imo. It features a great and creepy performance from Mia Goth, who in my opinion, can do no wrong in whatever movie she’s in. I definitely recommend checking that one out when it’s available to rent or on streaming.

I'm so hyped to see Infinity Pool now. Mia Goth's range as an actress is pretty insane, I don't think there is a character she can't play at this point but when she dials up the craziness she's absolutely incredible. Great to hear it's even more bizarre than this, I'm ready to get my brain frazzled.
