The relationship between Ash and LaMotte is more stirring, but not as well defined -- although this may be deliberate since our entry into their lives is understood largely through the eyes of our modern heroes, who can only draw conclusions from what they read in the letters between their 19th Century counterparts.
If I have any complaint, it's that he talks so much he even talks over dialogue he's alluding to in his commentary.
Interweaving two hindrance-hurdling love stories that share a literary connection but take place more than a century apart, director Neil LaBute has taken another large and confident step into an unexpected genre with gratifying results.

 The Flick Filosopher Possession
There are other kinds of romance at play here, too, like that of old books and cobblestoned English streets and of obsession with work that you love.
Based on A.S. Byatt's novel and lovingly adapted by LaBute, David Henry Hwang, and Laura Jones (Angela's Ashes, Oscar and Lucinda), Possession tells two parallel love stories, one contemporary and one historical, both swooningly ardent and meant to be quaffed like a rich, heady red wine.
So I'm really delighted and surprised to say that not only did I not roll my eyes once during Possession, I found it utterly compelling and devastatingly romantic and I didn't ever want it to end.

There aren’t nearly enough of those moments, however, and the self-indulgent, self-congratulatory manner in which Zulawski handles just about everything that goes on between one set of credits and the other makes for about as thoroughgoing a case of self-sabotage as you’re ever likely to see.

''Possession,'' at heart, was a novel about sitting around reading letters, and the epistolary form doesn't translate.
Adapted from A.S. Byatt's 1990 novel, ''Possession'' was cowritten and directed by the formerly savage Neil LaBute (''In the Company of Men''), who, after his screwball stretch with ''Nurse Betty,'' clearly relished the chance to stretch even further.

Its manifest intelligence, subtle humor and extraordinary texturing of the past within the present make Possession an original, and unforgettable, contribution
