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.

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

Presence is constructed with the intention of reminding us about the escapism cinema offers removed from the myriad ways in which social media rewired how our brains consume media.

Rated: 8/10

Presence isn’t like other movies, and that should be applauded. Whether it’s satisfying for the audience is a different matter.

Film Frenzy

The decision to keep most of the characters underdeveloped and their activities unexplained might have made Koepp and Soderbergh feel like they were adding to the overall mystery, but they were undermining it instead.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

A slow build … I really liked this movie it’s unlike any ghost / haunting movie I’ve ever seen. The tension building atmosphere and authentic performances hook you in. The movie does start slow but as the tension builds you become captivated and invested in the story of this family and this house. There is a major twist towards the end that comes as a complete surprise.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
