Presence (Steven Soderbergh) Movie Review: A Thrilling Experiment That Gets It Right

Steven Soderbergh’s Presence isn’t a horror film-despite how it’s marketed-it’s a gripping supernatural thriller with a unique twist. Told entirely from the first-person perspective of a mysterious entity, the film explores family, grief, and redemption in a bold, creative way. With strong performances from Lucy Liu, Julia Fox, and Chris Sullivan, Presence is a good attempt at doing something d...

@@EmpressLestat im glad youre going to see it. Ultimately i dont think abyone should swayed by anyone's opinion. If anything, even when im critical, i try to pinpoint who might like enjoy the film. I hope you do
@PhilSvitekYT Thanks. Good luck with your channel :0)
Why do people criticize the plot of the movie when the plot was created in the original 1920s film of which this is a remake?
@@ericswidler8743 who says they don't or wouldn't have the same issue with that version. Also, a remake allows one to improve upon things such as that.
I love it. I think there is no other film that captures the decadence and dramatics of gothic literature better than this one since Hunger and Interview With the Vampire. Love the Count Orlok design, I’ve been waiting to see a proper Eastern European look of the vampire.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you like it. I know many others do too, and I'm glad ultimately for Robert Eggers even if I don't resonate with him as much. I still want to see him succeed.
Totally agree with you, I wanted to love this so much, I'm a huge Eggers fan. I think beyond the pacing and self-seriousness of it all I think Count Orlock just didn't work for me, i didn't buy him at all and so the movie started to fall apart for me once he's introduced. He was over the top, I would've preferred a far more nuanced performance that helped me understand his connection to Mina and vice-versa. Missed opportunity.
I appreciate you sharing your perspective and making me feel less insane for not loving the movie. I get that it's drawing from the original (and Dracula by extension) but if the movie is ultimately about Ellen, I never felt that she WAS the main character.
