Possessor

Brandon Cronenberg working the family seam without embarrassment, and the practical effects are appalling in exactly the right way.

An assassin inhabits other people's bodies to carry out contract killings, then makes them commit suicide to exit. She is having trouble pulling out, and trouble remembering which life is hers.

The technique is the film. Cronenberg does the identity dissolution with in-camera effects, melting latex faces and superimposition rather than digital morphing, and the result has a physical wrongness a render cannot achieve.

Andrea Riseborough plays Vos as someone who has to rehearse her own family conversations in a mirror before going home.

Christopher Abbott is doing the harder job, playing a man being driven from inside.

The uncut version is the one that exists. It is extremely violent and the violence is slow and clumsy and human, which is the point.
