Review of Possum (2018) by Screendim — 20 Jan 2023

"Possum" is a film that was recommended to me, and I expecting it to be just another boring indie flick. I was wrong, the film was brilliant.

The story follows a children's puppeteer, played by Sean Harris, who is struggling to come to terms with the traumatic events of his past. The way Harris portrays the character is nothing short of a masterpiece. His performance is raw and emotional, and it's impossible not to feel for the guy.

The film is also visually stunning, with some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen on the big screen. The cinematography is truly breathtaking and it's clear that a lot of care and attention went into making this film look as good as it does.

But what really stood out to me was the film's soundtrack. The music is haunting and atmospheric, and it really adds to the overall mood of the film. It's not often that a movie's soundtrack really stands out to me, but this one did.

The plot is not your typical Hollywood fare. It's not a movie filled with action and explosions, but that's what makes it so great. It's a slow-burning psychological thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. It's a film that will stay with you long after you've left the theater.

Now, I know some of you may be thinking that "Possum" sounds like a depressing movie, but trust me, it's not. Sure, it deals with some heavy themes, but it's also filled with moments of levity and dark humor. I found myself laughing out loud at times, which was a nice surprise.

Overall, I highly recommend "Possum" to anyone looking for a film that's a little bit different from the typical Hollywood fare. It's a film that's not afraid to take risks and push boundaries, and it's a refreshing change of pace from the usual blockbuster movies. Go see this film and you won't be disappointed.
