Leave your thoughts about Coherence.
| Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonAn ingenious micro-budget science-fiction nerve-jangler which takes place entirely at a suburban dinner party, Coherence is a testament to the power of smart ideas and strong ensemble acting over expensive visual pyrotechnics. |
| SF WeeklyJonathan KieferByrkit's is an exactingly proportioned blueprint for well-paced cerebral freakouts, downplayed humor, and the humblest of special effects. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterCoherence proves that you don't need a big budget to make a big impression. A few bright ideas are much more valuable. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThe results aren't exactly compelling, but writer/director James Ward Byrkit does have a superb way of ratcheting up the suspense and mystery of the story, making it the rare movie that actually improves as it unfolds. |
| The DissolveMike D'AngeloShot over five nights in a single location, and almost entirely improvised, Coherence is no-budget filmmaking at its most delectably inventive. |
| Madison MovieRob ThomasIf you're into indie sci-fi in the vein of "Primer" or "Another Earth," where the thrills up the spine come from ideas rather than visual effects, get a ticket now to see James Byrkit's mindbender "Coherence." |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergThe result is a low-key mind-bender that feels half-scripted, half improvised, and -- for the most part -- rather surprisingly compelling. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonThe Rod Serling tension Byrkit is angling for never quite arrives, nor does any real Borgesian frisson. But thanks to its social setting, it does offer a vivid and perhaps intentional satirical portrait of L.A. culture. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferComplex, suspenseful, unpredictable and increasingly profound. One of those rare sci-fi movies with a brain. You'll want to see it again. |
| We Got This CoveredIsaac FeldbergCoherence is a smart, spooky and supremely satisfying mind-bender that proves lo-fi doesn't have to mean low ambition. |
