#TIFF24: “PRESENCE” REVIEW
By Nicholas Porteous
We open on a particularly bland overhead shot as a car pulls into a driveway. It's a reserved choice to serve as the opening for Steven Soderbergh's latest--but wait. The camera twists and turns and hovers down the stairs, revealing an empty house and an anxious realtor (Julia Fox--be warned: this is her only scene). There's clearly something more to this strange, drifting perspective. Indeed, there's a Presence in this house. A ghost. And for whatever reason, among ...
