Synopsis

Possession (2002) is a British-American romantic mystery you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Neil LaBute and starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart. American scholar Roland Michell stumbles across a hidden cache of draft letters — evidence that a celebrated Victorian poet was secretly corresponding with a woman far outside his official biography. He teams up with English academic Maud Bailey to trace the affair across the English countryside.

As Roland and Maud piece together a love story buried for over a century, their archive hunt starts to mirror what they're reading. Jeremy Northam and Jennifer Ehle play the Victorian poets themselves in beautifully shot flashback sequences. The film is based on A.S. Byatt's Booker Prize-winning novel and works best as a quiet, layered piece — two timelines folded into each other, both running on the same restless longing. Stream Possession (2002) in good quality on iFILM.
