"Believe the hype: Possessor is as good, if not better, than you've heard." — Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, ABC Radio (Australia)
"While there is nothing wrong with being compared to a master of body horror, Possessor removes Cronenberg from his father's shadow to show an original, provocative, and ambitious auteur in one of the 2020s best horror films." — David Gonzalez, Reel Talk Inc.
"It's pure cinematic dysmorphia: to watch this movie carefully is to feel completely out of place, right alongside the people onscreen." — K. Austin Collins, Rolling Stone
