Characters drink and use drugs and there is strong language. Part cerebral sci-fi and part relationship drama, COHERENCE is a tightly focused, intimately shot film whose tension intensely ratchets up as its numerous complex mysteries unfold. Parents should know that this is a psychological thriller with a pervasive sense of dread and some violence. On the night of an astronomical anomaly, eight friends at a dinner party experience a troubling chain of reality bending events. To say any more would be to spoil the movie’s best surprises. It certainly fits with the parallel universe theory posited in Coherence in addition to the weird story Em tells at the beginning of the film about a woman. What happens next is not a plot twist but a plot Rubik’s Cube, an ingeniously plotted infinite regression of meta-realities.
And we’ve all seen enough movies to know that this is probably not a great idea. And then someone says he’d better go outside to find out what is happening. They engage in routine dinner party chat, mentioning in passing some news about a comet due to pass overhead along with the usual updates and gossip. We get some sense of the relationships and some tensions as they gather.
#MOVIE COHERENCE MOVIE#
As the movie begins, eight friends are getting together for a dinner party. He literally shot it in his living room, with a cast of vaguely familiar looking but under the radar actors. James Ward Byrkit, who wrote “Rango” and created the visual design for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies (all with Gore Verbinski), wanted to take some time away from seven-figure-budget blockbusters and create something small and intimate. As in all great thrillers, the scary stuff is not what’s on the outside, but what the stuff on the outside does to the stuff in the inside, meaning not just the inside of the characters but the inside of the audience. The less you know, the more you will enjoy this nifty thriller, which craftily makes the most of its micro-budget to maximize a deliciously mind-bending story. In the end, I would totally recommend Coherence to anyone, especially for the sci-fi and the thriller audience out there, it’s a must watch.Seriously, don’t read this review until after you’ve seen the movie. I wanted to write this piece just because I felt some reviews didn’t justify how good the movie is. However this errors hold no importance once the tone of the movie sets. I would have rather liked if they only stuck with the thrill and horrors. You can see the technical issues with cinematography, overlapping dialogues, and the chaotic scenes at the exteriors.Also what I didn’t like was the fact that they were verbally trying to explain the science behind what’s happening. The movie is good, something out of the box for an indie movie but it’s not great. What surprised me the most is the end, like you won’t even expect such a thing. Even the moment of truth makes you feel like WTF JUST HAPPENED?! It keeps you on the edge of your seat till the end. Sometimes they are so subtle that you won’t even feel it.
The best part according to me is the transitions amongst the parallel universes, they are just stunning. Photo courtesy of Oscilloscope Laboratories. Emily Foxler and Maury Sterling in a scene from COHERENCE.
Amidst all the chaos it maintains a good flow throughout. You are sure to be shocked from start to end. Once the movie gets into its premise, there’s no stopping the chills running up your spine. The movie is based on the science of reality and parallel Universes (which is not portrayed as shown in the Flash). Chaos starts when a person who goes outside to check for lights returns back saying that he saw all of them in the other house in the same scenario. Like how people lost their way home, how some ended up in the wrong homes etc. They even talk about how strange things happened the last time the comet appeared. It all starts with a reunion amongst 8 friends during Haley’s comet night. The actors have done a good job keeping up with the intensity and thrill of the movie. The movie only consists of 8 people from start to end and another character who is only heard of.
