This review will be broken up into two
parts, a non spoiler review and then a spoiler heavy review. By all
means read the first part but do NOT read the last part if you have
not seen the film. This is one of those films that needs to be seen
without any spoilers.
This low budget independent movie is
one of those films that doesn't come out in wide release and you
probably don't even hear about it until you see a review or someone
mentions it at some point down the line. Coherence is a film that is
such a simple idea and yet so genius at the same time.
A group of friends gather together for
a night of wine and food. These friends have a long history together
and the usual personality clashes and connections that you expect.
Everything seems fairly normal but it isn't. A cracked phone and the
power going out in the neighborhood are only the beginning. The
presence of a passing comet seems to be related to a few strange
happenings or at least the paranoia of the friends. While breaking
out the candles and glow sticks, the group notices a house a down the
street with its lights on. Why don't they go check it out?
Spoilers toward the end of the review
