Jesús and Maria love each other, endlessly, magnificently, even though they sometimes just don't notice. But hey, now that their little lump of love is born, everything's going to work out. Sure, Maria still has a bit of a North-Korean streak in handling the household, calling all the shots when it comes to the color of their apartment walls, the name of the baby, the food they eat, the TV shows they watch, the thickness of the toilet paper and their holiday destination. Jesús, to prove to her and himself he ain't some spineless trilobite but that he has a will of his own, gets to pick the coffee table. Halleluiah! A hard-won victory that he's cherishing by picking out the most aggressively ugly little thing imaginable, the furniture equivalent of Liberace getting lost in Ikea. An unbreakable wonder, says the salesman. Overpriced, says Maria. It will bring boundless happiness to their lives, says the salesman. Their worst nightmare, says us....

Casas has an undeniable nose for middle-class peccadilloes, but tone is everything.

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

Not for the faint-hearted, The Coffee Table breaks the boundaries of being a simple horror film or a dark comedy, paying off for those brave enough to watch. A wonderfully executed film that is equal parts distressing and devilishly funny.

Rated: 4/5

The Coffee Table is a surprising glimpse into the inner workings of how normal people will deal with a horrifically tragic and unexpected event.

Rated: 9/10

The filmmakers have conceived a bleak, emotionally violent film, but other than a lot of blood, it is not actually graphic. It will feel graphic, and you may wind up with a headache afterwards. Cayas is wise to let us use our imagination.

DO NOT WATCH THIS. This film is about the decapitation of a baby. That’s it. That’s the plot. Obviously there is no humour and no ‘horror’ although it is horrific. Should never have been made and only sickos will enjoy.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

A lot of suspense, dread, and tension fill the halls of this apartment room, but it does take a bit too much time for things to boil over.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Que sorpresa me lleve. Es tan intensa e inquietante. En momentos parece que las cosas se calman pero es cuando más cabron esta. Sin duda es suspenso y miedo de calidad.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It’s a lot. It’s a lot, a lot. Pretty damn tense and a great premise. I think people who are traumatized just missed the comedy part. It’s genius.
