Coherence

I've never watched a film that made me feel stoned. Until now.

Coherence kept popping up on lists of best sci-fi films which was surprising because I had never seen a trailer or heard anything about it. I found it free to stream somewhere, so I checked it out, and I am so glad I did! What I found was a very low-budget film with a cast you have never heard of but a premise and script that were so well executed that this movie blew my mind! The panic and anxiety of the characters as they try to understand what is happening around them is told with such brilliance that the audience is lost, intrigued, overwhelmed, and bought in all at the same time. I'm telling you - watch this movie!

COHERENCE is a fun, twisty tale about eight friends at a party, who are caught up in a quantum quagmire when a mysterious comet passes overhead. Their festivities fizzle when things begin to get complicated, confusing, and dangerous. As the characters attempt to extricate themselves from a knot of converging realities, their actions seem to only make matters worse.

Is there any way out of their ponderous predicament?

The film's impromptu-style dialogue adds to the sense of realism. Though the science may be "far-fetched", the story is engaging and quite entertaining, and -probably- wasn't meant as a physics lesson...

It is a very complex but intelligent film. I got nervous when I watched it. I understood some of the subjects and scenes, but I didn't understand some of them. I looked at some reviews and liked the film even more. I think the scriptwriter and director did a good and intelligent job. The film is complex and sometimes not very easy to understand. It is not easy to write, shoot, and edit such a film. Congratulations. I also liked the acting. It is very realistic and convincing. Despite its very low budget, they did a good job. Yes, things like sound, lighting, and so on are technically weak in the film, but the film is a scripted film. In other words, its script and acting are impressive.

Great cerebral sci-fi. If you're looking for aliens and spaceships this ain't it but if you like the twilight zone kinda stuff this is a good one. Maybe I was in the right mood for it but I really enjoyed this one. The characters were believable and what I thought were holes in the plot turned out not to be. not sure I would have been thrilled to see it in a movie theater at present ticket and snack prices but a good rental. Gotta pay attention and don't worry if you can't catch everything being said in the first part as it's just party chatter.

Not all questions answered and the premise is not, I think, meant to be exactly the Schrodinger cat thing but just something to motivate the action. Just because the characters discuss something doesn't mean they figured everything out right.
