Critics Consensus

A case study in less-is-more filmmaking, Coherence serves as a compelling low-budget calling card for debuting writer-director James Ward Byrkit.

Um grupo de 8 amigos se reúnem para um jantar na casa de um deles. Enquanto isso, um cometa passa pela Terra, causando problemas em celulares. De repente, a energia elétrica acaba em todo lugar, menos na casa onde estão os 8 amigos e uma outra mais a frente. A partir daí, uma série de fatos estranhos começam a acontecer. Com um orçamento reduzido, apenas um único lugar para filmar, mas com um bom elenco e um ótimo roteiro, o diretor e roteirista James Ward Byrkit dá um nó na cabeça do público, usando os conceitos de física quântica e da teoria do gato de Schrödinger. Porém, apesar da complexidade da trama, a tensão e as reviravoltas que vão acontecendo mantém a sua atenção. Falar mais é entregar muito mais do filme. Boa diversão.

Coherence was a highlight. A deceptively simple film made with minimal cast, crew, and budget, it boasts more than enough sheer imagination to tip the scale in its favor.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Considering how much of the film consists of a single group of people becoming increasingly unhinged in a suburban living room, it's impressive how effectively Byrkit manages to suggest multiple realities and ominous other worlds.

Rated: 3/5

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

One of its strengths is the attention it pays to character. Scrape away the sci-fi trappings and this emerges as a caustic, closely observed drama about some narcissistic California types with obvious tensions in their lives.

Rated: 4/5

The Wolfman Cometh

Its ambitions are admirable, but the actual concepts are too convoluted and don't quite live up to the potential of the various themes it juggles.

Even more unsettling because of its grounded setting, Coherence is a true indie gem.
