I saw Possession! It was So SO SO good. My friend and I thought it was captivating. I think it is better than than the book- or at the very least, much clearer than the book. The books was very dense. The movie preserves most of what was wonderful about the book. The poetry is missing, but I did not think Ms. Byatt's poems to be as good as the poets of that period- so for me, the movie clears that up nicely (no slight to Ms Byatt- she did a great job on the poems, but they were basically part of the gimmick of the book, and not the equivalent (imo only) of real writers doing real work in the period). You might have a different opinion about them. Some of the people in my book group felt differently about the whole thing.

Anyway, I think you will enjoy it very much.
