    First new film of 2025 watched is Soderbergh's PRESENCE. I think we're very lucky to be here at the same time as Soderbergh. What a treat to get something new from him now and again.

    In “Presence,” the director Steven Soderbergh finds his story by locking the monster behind the camera, writes David Sims. But the film is “less an entrée than a charming apéritif, albeit with a couple of smart twists worth ruminating on.”

    1917 was an early precursor, but with Nickel Boys, Presence, and Flow we are really seeing the cinematography of video games begin to influence film instead of the other way around.

Real solid haunted house flick; I like how Soderbergh's filming conceit for this means there are practically no close-ups. its a nice house too

    Hooked from the start. Jaw dropping third act. If I held different beliefs this would’ve hit much much harder but still an incredible film. I could write an essay on the themes explored but I’ll say this: grief is tangible and able to destroy or heal relationships. Ask me about my notes on the movie if you have a few hours.

    "Presence" is delivered in the same unorthodox manner as "The Blair Witch Project" (1999) with the significent difference here being the camera is not just recording what happens, the camera - and by association the audience - is now an active participant in the story and as such we are constantly treated to a succession of superbly photographed scenes with the camera smoothly gliding dream-like from one room to the next and eavesdropping on the unsuspecting Payne family.

    Presence (2024) takes a unique approach to the haunted house genre, putting you in the perspective of the ghost itself. The story follows the Payne family as they move into a new home, each carrying their own personal struggles. Chloe, the daughter, is grieving the loss of her best friend, while her mother, Rebekah, is dealing with legal troubles that aren't fully explained. The film plays with the idea of an unseen presence observing their lives, but it never fully confirms whether the ghost…
