Possession

...the movie is not a serious examination of scholarship or poetry, but a brainy romance.

Northam comes off best, letting his hair down and revealing one secret safe from the scholars.

The pacing is excellent; the story never loses steam or rambles on and on, which must be a real risk in a story about academics.

Gwyneth Paltrow...she's the most radiant, swankily sexy poststructuralist you've ever seen.
