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....

Phil Hoad Guardian Casas has an undeniable nose for middle-class peccadilloes, but tone is everything. Rated: 2/5 May 13, 2024 Full Review Rebecca Sayce 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 Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Meredith Jill Brown Upcoming Horror Movies 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 Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views 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. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Petr Navovy Pajiba If you have a strong stomach and have had your curiosity piqued, The Coffee Table is worth your time. Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Ruben Peralta Rigaud Cocalecas The Dining Table is bold and unlike anything you've seen before. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Nye N. ‘Great movie you wouldn’t recommend to anyone’ is an excellent description of this grim absurdist horror which seems to take pleasure in torturing its viewer(s). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Jeremy S Well, you ain't gonna forget it. But you may well want to. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Courtney K interesting. ya know... i guess i don't know what i would do if i were in his shoes, but i feel pretty confident that i wouldn't do what he did. he was obviously in shock & some part of his brain thought that trying to hide it was the best course of action, but how do you hide THAT. especially when you didn't even clean up all the pieces. the idea is tragic & when his partner came home really hammering the nail home about the stupid coffee table, you can just feel his absolute dread. i thought his wife was annoying af, but overall this was executed really well. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review 누텔라 A- i really enjoyed watching this. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Alberto C Horrible movie, bad taste, nosense, poorly acted. Disgusting Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Aaron D 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 07/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
