Plots(1)
On the night of an astrological anomaly, eight friends at a dinner party experience a troubling chain of reality bending events. Part cerebral sci-fi and part relationship drama, COHERENCE is a tightly focused, intimately shot film that quickly ratchets up with tension and mystery. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (3)
Great example of film minimalism, but above all fantastic minimalism. Excellently paranoid film that doesn't lack tension. One of the few movies where I thought that the moving camera really makes sense and adds something extra to it. If you don't get tangled up in it, it's a pleasure for the mind.

The nicest indie sci-fi movie since… well, I don’t know since when. This is proof that to deliver a great experience all you need is one house (multiplied X times), several likeable and well written (meaning distinguishable) characters (multiply X times) and a catchy paranoid premise. An evening with old friends is interrupted by a comet that puts the protagonists in a Schrödinger box. I’d rather not reveal any more of the plot, is better to be surprised. In any case, if that’s enough for you, you will have a lot of fun with this cheap mysterious sci-fi movie.

Well, that wasn't for me. Fans of cheap films and clever scripts will enjoy it, but I prefer fun and action. The actors are very unlikeable, the premise is quite creepy but told in a boring and cluttered way; just a film that could have been made by just about anyone for a few bucks and would have only needed a clever scriptwriter, nothing more. If at least someone had come to blows here, but the director didn't have the balls for that.
