Sommaire
Reviewers say 'Presence' is an ambitious film with mixed reactions. Praised for its unique perspective, psychological tension, and exploration of family dynamics, it also faces criticism for pacing, plot holes, and misleading marketing. Characters and acting receive varied opinions, while the supernatural element is seen as intriguing yet underdeveloped. The twist ending garners mixed responses, making 'Presence' a flawed yet interesting blend of supernatural themes and family drama.

It is very intense in it's filming. There is no hiding in this film, from an actors perspective. There is no need for indepth character development, and I think that's what I liked about it. We didn't need an hour of backstory, we got just enough to help the story progress.
Lucy Liu is not the star player in this film. She plays her role convincingly. The storyline is subtle and the way it is filmed is key. There is some subtleties that won't make sense until it's all over.
It is not quite as revolutionary as some reviews have made it out to be, but it is different and I really appreciated it for that.
You are kept in suspense, but not in an exhausting way. You keep watching because you know there's an explanation but you're not teased to get there.
I enjoyed it. A nice little ghost story from a different perspective and no expectation of a commercialised series of films. Just slimmed down, basic story telling.
Recommend a watch.

I want to preface this by saying I thought Presence was a good movie. The acting, camera work, storytelling - all hit the mark for me.
That being said, I wouldn't classify this as a horror film, and I didn't find it scary at all. Suspenseful? Sure, at times. However, the "twist" was relatively easy to catch on to pretty early in the film, and figuring that out sort of detracts from the experience.
I would categorize this film as more of a family drama, with an interesting and unique take on the classic ghost stories of the past. If you're looking for a film to truly scare you, this one isn't it. Almost all of the ghostly happenings are shown in the trailer as well, which was disappointing.

While I appreciate Soderburgh trying something new, there were way too many missed opportunities to make this movie feel anything other than gimmicky. Don't get me wrong, it was a good attempt at a ghost story but the tone of the movie got tripped up on adding too many distracting elements. It seemed more experimental than anything else; the characters felt forced (especially the parents), the foreshadowing was over the top, and the last ten minutes undid any possible horror that I originally hoped I would find. Definitely walked away feeling disappointed but only because the events leading up to it left too many open ended questions. (One of the biggest being why they would leave their children in an obviously haunted house (this is not a spoiler, it's literally the title of the movie) and then say "make good decisions." Dumb.)
I saw this at a secret screening, which is where you don't know what the movie is going to be.
The movie takes a while to get into anything. You're watching the family settle to their new home which, with movies like paranormal, didn't seem boring. Unfortunately in the case of this movie, the script and subsequent acting from some individuals made it hard to get into/ watch at some points.
During the climax of the movie, the monologue from a certain character (it will make sense what I'm saying when you watch it, I just don't want to spoil anything) was a hard watch. It felt like a school drama performance. This is probably due to a poor script and acting.
The movie as a whole is fine, I wouldn't pay to see it in the cinema, I recomend waiting for it to come out on a streaming service.

This film leaves me feeling a lot like I felt after watching Neon's Longlegs in 2024. A quirky approach to a horror story, mostly well-executed, but with a story that ends up feeling inauthentic and clumsy. Personally I'd much rather watch a film that tries to do something different, even if it doesn't quite stick the landing, than a thousand cheap jumpscare horror clones. Presence did something different so I applaud it.
Pro: genuinely chilling at times: the scene with Natalie Woolams-Torres left the hairs on my arms standing on end.
Pro: mostly good, natural scriptwriting and acting.
Pro: just the right amount of levity at just the right times to keep the audience going without getting too silly.
Con: as the plot gets into its late stages it just doesn't feel right. I'm not sure how I'd have written it instead but there must have been room for a dark, natural and believable way to take the characters where they needed to be without *that* dialogue.
Con: the audience is limited by the characters' likeability here. I think the family father seems compelling but mother, daughter and son all left me feeling a little... uninterested in their fates? In one case this is a deliberate device to drive the plot and make the ending impactful but in the other two it seems inexcusable.
Con: I'm here partly for Julia Fox and she's barely in the movie. Boo! Give me a director's cut complete with 45 minutes of freehold contract negotiations and I'll bump my review up to an 8.

- AnecdotesIn a 2024 interview with Filmmaker magazine, Steven Soderbergh spoke about the real-life incident that inspired the film: "It was prompted by the fact that we had a presence of some sort in the house that Jules Asner and I own. We were told, when we bought the house and subsequent to our moving in, that the woman who owned it some time ago had died in the house. We were told by a neighbor that the woman who died in the house was killed by her daughter. The circumstances surrounding it were very murky, but everybody on the block was convinced that this was not a suicide, as the police described it, but that her daughter, who she was well known to have a contentious relationship with, had killed her. As the son of a parapsychologist, I found that fascinating. I was hopeful that there might be some sort of experience to be had, but Jules and I really didn't have anything more than, you know, 'Did I leave that light on, or...' But we had a house sitter, and one night she was watching television in the main parlor area, and through her peripheral vision, she sensed somebody in the hallway in the other end of the house. When she looked, she saw a woman crossing from the bathroom to the bedroom. She instinctively said, 'Jules,' then realized Jules wasn't there-nobody was there. So, she immediately called Jules and said, 'This just happened to me.' The name of the woman [who died] was Mimi. I began to wonder what it would be like to be Mimi, and be in this house, and feel like, 'What are these people doing in my house-and is there anything that can be done?' So, that was my jumping-off point."
- GaffesThe family is portrayed as highly educated and status conscious, sufficiently well off to engage in school district shopping and holding professional jobs. Yet the f-bomb is freely tossed about the dinner table and in family interactions, crack house style, by mother and teens alike, with only the mildest of objections from the father.
- Générique farfeluOther than the Presence, the characters and events depicted in this motion picture are fictitious.
