Possessed Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
James Agee
The weaknesses in this unusual movie do not greatly matter beside the fact that a lot of people who have a lot to give are giving it all they've got.
Slant Magazine
Dan Callahan
Possessed does have a few very good insights into the self-abasing aggressiveness of unrequited love.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
It's a role that Crawford was born to play, but ultimately the film is too campy to be memorable.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Too heavy with German stimmung.
America Magazine
Moira Walsh
The end result is that a potentially moving and illuminating inquiry into the workings of an unbalanced mind emerges as a jumble of contradictory scenes, many engrossing as individual units but lacking cohesion.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
...a portrait of a woman for whom logic and reason has washed away, lost in a spreading ocean of mental illness.
Esquire Magazine
Jack Moffitt
It required great courage for Joan Crawford to play it and for Warner Brothers to produce it. The screen's never exhibited so ruthless a study of an undisciplined mind at work.
