How does the viewer receive the film? Why are some movies a more satisfying experience for the viewer than others? – these are questions of interest to film experts, psychologists and sociologists. This article presents a brief overview of the film reception research, with particular emphasis on immersion and emotions and social interactions experienced by the viewer during the show. Bodily aspect of film reception will also be indicated. Theoretical considerations have been illustrated by comparative studies of reception by viewers (N=325) of seven films having their cinema premieres in 2019.
