"The best of Cronenberg's nightmare is pure, imaginative immersion."
— Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"Possessor is a shocking work that moves from disquieting to stressful with ruthless dispatch."
— Glenn Kenny, The New York Times
"If this is just a taste of what Brandon Cronenberg has in store for cinema, then long live the new flesh."
— Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
"On a technical level, the film is just astonishing, especially as regards the two lead actors’ performances."
— Peter Debruge, Variety
"This sleekly executed work is of its time, exhibiting the chilly aesthetic and psychotropic overlay seen in some of the best indie sci-fi/horror films of recent years."
— John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
"Cronenberg has created a mind-bending trip of a movie with more to say than your average actioner and is supported by spectacular performances and make-up and practical effects that seal the deal. Brace yourself. Possessor is brilliant."
