Critics Consensus

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

Richard Brody

The New Yorker

"Presence” is a mystery, and a good one, which means that disclosing its revelations would spoil the fun. The film would also repay a second viewing, because details sprinkled throughout take on their meaning only in hindsight.

Mashable

Presence is a remarkable union of a clever concept and a superb execution.

Adam Nayman

The Ringer

Presence feels like a limber but limited exercise in cinematic problem-solving rather than a genuine experiment in terror.

Jack Martin

Film Feeder

If the script isn’t exactly solid, the concept and execution certain is, as Soderbergh makes his ghost story one that actually sticks with you, thanks to some innovative camerawork and simple but pleasant family drama.

Rated: 3/5

Another entry into the burgeoning ‘from the perspective of’ horror, Presence may lack supernatural scares, but does still leave the viewer sweating.

Rated: 4/5

Original Cin

As usual, director Steven Soderbergh brings a unique touch to this compelling story about a spectral presence observing a dysfunctional family that may be a watchful villain or a guiding light.

Rated: B+
