Critics Consensus

A slow-burning spectral thriller, Presence reaffirms that Soderbergh plays with form as deftly as he flits between genres.

Audience Says

Like the ghost at its center, Presence is a voyeuristic slow burn that may not satisfy those seeking traditional horror but may spook those who appreciate well-executed psychological thrillers.

Irish Times

As with Kimi and Unsane, Soderbergh occasionally has more fun with the constraints than we do. There’s nothing as compelling or creepy as Kristen Stewart’s dance with the unseen in Personal Shopper.

Rated: 3/5

I love that after all these decades as a filmmaker, Soderbergh still likes to do these cool little experimental larks.

It's a gimmick... But it's a good gimmick, not one I had really seen before.

The Asian Cut

'Presence' depicts an endless and impossible task, and does so with the grace of a sonnet.

Rated: 4/5

Rough Draft Atlanta

With “Presence,” Soderbergh uses the camera to unsettle us, make us empathize, make us hate – all culminating in an ending that rips the floor out from underneath your feet.

Good experimental film that will bore most people. As a film addict it was intriguing.

This concept of it being the spirit’s POV is so cool & had so much potential. It would’ve been great if 90% of the film wasn’t boring. The entirety of the film sets up a climax that seemed to last 30 seconds & ended up being lackluster.

I didn’t like this movie. I felt it was overhyped and it under delivered.

POV of a ghost, a big brother's redemption, the life of a busy woman and a father whose only weapon is asking for help. Not your typical horror movie, but it's a nice message.
