Critics Consensus

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

Tara Brady

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 Post NZ

Come for the fly-on-the-wall look at a family unravelling, stay for the brilliantly conceived long-takes, clever misdirections and surprisingly deep and profound conversations and dialogue.

The gimmicky trappings could have worked as a short, but in its compact feature-length form, “Presence” is a bit of a slog.

Daily Record (UK)

More family drama than frights and fearsome bumps in the night, Presence is a well made film putting personal and group trauma under the microscope that could’ve done with an injection of edgy tension.

A rather boring, but altogether solid contribution to the paranormal genre. I would have rated it lower had the final scene not been absolutely perfect. Salvaged the whole viewing for me.

I’m sorry but it was awful. Scary movies just aren’t scary anymore. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be scary…

A novel take on a well worn (and in many cases WORN OUT) genre. Masterfully shot and edited, really cool score and a story that oozes a palpable sense of eeriness. One of the more memorable ghost stories I've seen since The Others. I also appreciate the brisk runtime, not that I'm opposed to longer movies but some stories are more effective in short doses.
