Presence of Mind (Spanish: El celo) is a 1999 Spanish-American drama film directed by Antoni Aloy and starring Sadie Frost, Lauren Bacall, Harvey Keitel, and Jude Law.

A woman is hired to watch over two recently orphaned children, Flora and her brother Miles (played by Nilo Mur).

[5] Aloy has stated that he wanted the film to focus on "the sentimental bonds that are established between the governess and the child".

[11] Variety reviewed the film, writing that "Everything that's subtle and open to interpretation in James' novel of evil, possession and ghosts is lurid and obvious here, with a star turn by Sadie Frost that's unauthoritative to say the least and arch support from Lauren Bacall that gives the drama a ripple of unintentionally camp humor.

"[1] Sight & Sound was also dismissive, as they felt that "as a measure of how James' text can be milked for terrible gothic grandstanding, Presence of Mind was exemplary.
