Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Possum.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Possum?
Everyone praising the Possum performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Possum?
Just got out of Possum and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Possum is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Possum was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
