As usual, there were some fairly brainless reviews, but I was sure it was a movie I would like. Well I loved it!! I invited a friend and they also told me it was great. All the performers, the story line, and a happy ending to top it off.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors

Yes, I had some reservations about the subject matter and wasn't looking forward to some demonic possession horror film. The subject matter was very well presented and showed respect for religious beliefs and practices. I have great respect for the strength of Hasidic beliefs and appreciate respect shown in Possession. Performances demonstrated abilities to stretch beyond to create something greater than gore and horror. The psychological aspects of family members were clear and held me at the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The closing scene scores right up there with "Carrie".
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, amazing special effects.
Robert Downey continues to prove that he can be the best. This was a great medium for him and it's an interesting take on Connon Doyle's Holmes. Lots of interesting sub storylines mixed in. I loved it. I'm looking forward to IronMan 2.
