The Possibility of Spirits

About This Movie

So, 'The Possibility of Spirits' from 2017 is this intriguing documentary that really tosses out the rulebook on traditional filmmaking. The director—who remains a mystery—plays with conventions in a way that makes you rethink how stories about possession can be told. It's not just about the shock of spirits overtaking people; there’s a meditative quality to it, almost like a slow unraveling. You get these raw, unfiltered performances that feel deeply personal. The pacing might throw some off, as it leans more into the atmospheric rather than the narrative-driven. Practical effects? They keep it grounded, enhancing the realism rather than overwhelming the viewer. It’s distinctive, sure, but it also leaves you with more questions than answers, which is kind of refreshing in its own right.
