Coherence

The larger questions Coherence asks us to consider about parallel worlds are interesting, if not exactly original, while absurdist touches help elevate it from more traditional thrillers.

At once a suspenseful mind game and a wily mash-up of surreal quantum physics theories, this low-cost thriller proves that something approaching brilliance is not just a function of budget.

James Ward Byrkit completes his journey from storyboard artist...to writer-director with this overextended but mostly enjoyable trip into the Twilight Zone.

The film's not perfect-the hand-held camerawork sometimes distracts from the unnerving mood-but it's a good, spooky mind-bender.

[The] surprises, while cleverly doled out over the film's brisk 88-minute running time, don't entirely offset the general displeasure of spending time with this particular circle of friends, lovers and old flames ...

"Coherence" is proof that inventive filmmakers can do a lot with a little.

Coherence is a smart, tense genre outing that thoroughly shows up big-budget tent-poles with its superior inventiveness.

Keep your ears open and your eyes peeled because Coherence is all about the details.

A no-budget, mind-bending exercise in the fragility of human relationships with a bit of quantum physics thrown in, Coherence is thoughtful and well-made thriller with a hint of mystery to it that simmers nicely below the surface.

Coherence's brilliance comes from forcing the question of whether we truly know what we're capable of.

Coherence is, at times, somewhat incoherent, but always on the right side of farcicality.
