      Adam B Why does this even exist? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review prawnda s it's overrated, but it's still pretty good. it's very slow, empty, and gloomy, and while there is an explanation for basically every part of the film, i think it is missing something. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Ricky U Absolute master piece. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Samantha H This movie is full of nonsense poems and riddles and will make you feel like a "possum". Just like the animal (possum) when you watch this flick you'll fall into a sleep like trance and awake only to wonder what the hell it was you just watched. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review KSa Appeared to set a tone with an uneasy tension. This led to nothing as nothing really happens apart from travelling to various locations with his bag. As the film dragged on with little happening that the only interest of what was in the bag that kept me watching lost its appeal. I even fell asleep and guessed the ended. Astonishing how some films are given such ratings. People really have no idea what is a good film nowadays. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Megan M Extremely slow and repetitive with little payoff. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ryan Gilbey New Statesman In taking his inspiration from Jimmy Savile, Holness has placed at the centre of his film the sort of bogeyman who could give even Michael Myers nightmares. Jan 26, 2019 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety The film has a striking aesthetic and atmospheric assurance that takes a particular British miserabilism into near-abstract terrain, not unlike Cronenberg's vaguely similar (if more rigorously plotted) "Spider." Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Pat Brown Slant Magazine In the end, there's little payoff for all the repetitive series of evocative visions and mute stares. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 28, 2018 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming The most disturbing bedtime story you'll ever see, Possum ... is a deeply unsettling tale that gradually crawls under the skin to shake its audience to the very core. Rated: 5/5 Mar 29, 2021 Full Review Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective It's a love letter to abandoned places and anonymous spaces, swept through with dead foliage and rot. Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Adi Pramana Cultured Vultures Harris is superb in this. He's completely on the level with the screenplay and threw himself into the role with a mesmerizing and polarized performance. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
