Obsession's Critical Reception

Polygon writer Jesse Hassenger praised Navarrette's performance as a 'true movie monster crossing possession with a Bride of Frankenstein figure'.

“Navarrette gets plenty of time to believably and charmingly establish who Nikki is before the wish takes her true self away. Once that happens, she does bravura work as this imitation version, regularly flying off the handle with panicked eagerness or cackling mania, creating an unusual combination of fear and pity, a true movie monster crossing possession with a bride of frankenstein figure.”

Obsession's Awards Push

Focus Features is pushing for Obsession to be considered for Best Picture, Inde Navarrette for Best Actress, and Curry Barker for Best Original Screenplay.
