Coherence Ratings & Reviews
Iqbal Subadi
December 8, 2024
Coherence is a brilliant example of minimalist filmmaking that punches well above its weight. Its intricate plot and compelling characters make it a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and thought-provoking sci-fi. While it may leave you with more questions than answers, that’s precisely what makes it unforgettable. Some viewers might find the film’s lack of direct explanations frustrating. The intentionally ambiguous ending leaves many questions unanswered, which might not sit well with audiences who prefer more closure.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
James Ward Byrkit completes his journey from storyboard artist...to writer-director with this overextended but mostly enjoyable trip into the Twilight Zone.

Cary Darling
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.

Matt Zoller Seitz
"Coherence" is proof that inventive filmmakers can do a lot with a little.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This less you know, the more you will enjoy this this nifty thriller, which craftily makes the most of its micro-budget to maximize a deliciously mind-bending story.

Perri Nemiroff
There's more suspense in this low budget dialogue-driven sci-fi thriller than many effect-heavy, $100 million+ blockbuster wannabes.
Slant Magazine
Samuel B. Prime
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.
Austin Chronicle
William Goss
...grounds a mounting sense of paranoia among a set of credibly flawed relationships before doling out its eerie revelations with care.
The New Yorker
Bruce Diones
The film's not perfect-the hand-held camerawork sometimes distracts from the unnerving mood-but it's a good, spooky mind-bender.
Variety
Justin Chang
[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 ...
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Coherence is a gentle film, but you walk away from it with your brain on fire.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
What began as a nifty puzzle feels more like a trap. It may be possible to unkink this story, but when characters and performances are as unengaging as these, it's hard to feel motivated to try.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The conceit is alluringly mind-bending without ever seeming off-puttingly brainy.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Slightly too much like an unfolding mathematical puzzle, although an ingenious one that reaches a chilling conclusion.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
An ingenious micro-budget science-fiction nerve-jangler which takes place entirely at a suburban dinner party, Coherence is a testament to the power of smart ideas and strong ensemble acting over expensive visual pyrotechnics.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Gets points for both effort and entertainment value - even if viewers will be hard-pressed to find much coherence in his convoluted plot.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Writer/director James Ward Byrkit, in his feature debut, achieves effective chills with only eight actors and a living room ...
BuzzFeed News
Alison Willmore
Coherence's characters aren't especially nice, but they do feel painfully normal, with a plausibility to their actions that extends to the half-smart way they react to their situation.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The Rod Serling tension Byrkit is angling for never quite arrives, nor does any real Borgesian frisson.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
An uncommonly clever genre movie, reliant not on special effects-of which there are basically none-but on heavy doses of paranoia.
